Good morning! The Central Comets football team has advanced to the 2A IHSA Playoffs with a record of 6-3! The Comets will travel to Downs in Tri-Valley on Saturday for a 2:00 game time. Best of luck!

Mrs. Swigert-Fenton's APUSH students visited Ms. Hick's 3rd grade class yesterday. The high school students created games about the causes of the American Revolution and then played them with the 3rd graders. The games included Hangman between the Loyalists and the Patriots, Memory Revolution, and the Boston Tea Party bozo cups game (using tea bags to toss into the cups), Sorry!, and Bingo. Both groups had a blast. Thanks to Ms. Hicks for allowing the high school class to come hang out.

Comet seniors Landon Shule and Jeffery Hermanowicz presented at Kankakee Area Career Center Sophomore Day. Both did an outstanding job.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Administration was made aware of a threat posted in a boys bathroom stall at Nash Middle School. The threat was vague and did not provide any specifics, however the district is taking it seriously. Iroquois County Sherriff’s Office and Chebanse Township law enforcement were contacted about the post. The Iroquois County Sherriff’s office will be on site to investigate and monitor dismissal procedures today. Law enforcement will also be present at Chebanse Elementary School just as a precaution. The concern and safety of Nash Middle School students is important to the faculty and staff at the Central School District. We are thankful to the local law enforcement for providing assistance in making education a priority. Sincerely, Joshua Houberg Principal
