5th graders attended their 2nd day at Starbase. The students started building rockets, learned about liquids/solids/gases, air flow, chromatography, CAD, and robot putt-putt. We had a full day!
On August 9th, one of our beloved bus drivers, Trenice Johnson, was hospitalized at Olathe Medical Center for nearly a week due to a medical emergency and is now at home working through her recovery steps in hopes she can return to driving her route for the school and kids she cares so much for. On Friday, September 6th, the Central Heights Cross Country team will be hosting a baked goods benefit and accepting donations at the first home Football game versus Jayhawk Linn in which 100% of the money collected will go to Trenice and her husband to help cover the cost of medical expenses and lost time from work. We ask that you please join us and help in any way that you can to support one of our dedicated and wonderful Viking family members who has been taking care of kids in our district for what is now 40 years and counting!
