Middle school students who are interested in competing in the MTSU middle school math contest will need to participate in a qualifying round during Central Time on Wednesday, February 22. Scan the QR code or get the link to sign up in your math teacher's classroom. Students that progress past the preliminary round will compete at MTSU on Tuesday, April 13th with other students from middle Tennessee.  

It's cold outside and while we get to be warm and indoors when James Evans calls, others are not so lucky.  Coldest Nights Women's Shelter is in need of the following items: Socks, gloves, individually wrapped snacks (something easy to chew is best because of dental issues), powdered hot chocolate and cider packets, chapstick, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, bottled water, combs, brushes, pony tail holders, individual tissue packs, individual shampoo and conditioner bottles, single-use soap.  Bring your donations to Magistra Henson in room 225.  She has candy. 

This past Saturday and Sunday middle school cheer competed in Orlando Florida at the National Cheerleading Competition. They advanced from semi-finals to finals and placed 4th in the nation. If you see a middle school cheerleader, please congratulate them on this huge success. 

Only 1000 middle and high school cheer teams from across the US receive a bid and/or attend UCA Nationals.  Our HS cheerleaders represented Central well at the event last weekend and placed 5th.  Please congratulate them when you see them. 

HS Cheer will sell smoothies for $6 at all 4 lunches today! 

 The JV boys basketball team ended their season with a strong performance by beating Valor on the road, 50-36 last Friday.
