FCA will meet Thursday (October 5) during Advisory, and after announcement, in the East gym. 

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month- an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for those who need us most- the kids at St Jude! Fact #15 Globally, cancer stole 11.5 million years of healthy life away from children in 2019. The total could be lower if all children received adequate care.  Eli lost 77 years of healthy life…. He was 2 when he gained his angel wings.

Congratulations to the Girls golf team on their Regional Championship win yesterday.  The Girls played at Spencer T. Olin in Alton.  Leading the Cougars charge yesterday was Bazooka Lucah who carded 3 birdies on her back 9 and shot a 39.  Lucah's score of 84 held up to make her the 4th place individual medalist for the event.  Next up for the Cougars was Oh Maya what a Happy Kampwerth who carded an 85 and also scored a 39 on her back 9.  "Strubey" Strubhart was the all out leader on the front nine finishing 7 strokes over and keeping the cougar in the hunt.  Bringing it home and rounding out the 4th score for the cougars was "Rihanna" Sudholt and the cougars coasted to victory under her umbrella -        ella -          ella        - eh          - eh.  The Cougars will be at Belk Park on Monday where they will try to earn a berth at the State Tournament and hopefully clinch a Sectional Championship!  Lets go Cougs.

Cougar Closet is Central’s clothing and supply store.  It is open to all students and has a great assortment of new and gently used clothing, as well as school supplies and hygiene products.  Because everything has been donated, all items are FREE for our students.  When might this be helpful?: 

·         If you or your family members are in need of some extra clothing or supplies at home.

·         If you come to school and realize that you forgot to bring a notebook, a pencil, or some other vitally important item for the classroom.

·         If you get to school and realize that you forgot your P.E. clothes.

·         If you get to school and sometime throughout the day you experience a spill or some type of clothing malfunction or mishap and are in need of something to change into to get through the day. 

·         If you work exceptionally hard in P.E., and after a great deal of sweating realize that you forgot to bring extra deodorant to school to freshen up afterwards. 

·         If you forget your hoodie at home, and you are shivering in your classes. 

If any of these situations happen to you, we will do our best to find you a suitable solution in the Cougar Closet.  To set up a time to visit the Cougar Closet, please e-mail Mrs. Koerkenmeier, Mrs. Benhoff, Mrs. Kuhn, Mrs. Walker, or Ms. Thompson. 

 

 Central High School participates in Clinton County’s Snack Pack Program.  As we all know, EVERYTHING has gotten much more expensive this past year, creating additional financial strain on many families.  If your family needs a little extra food assistance, please e-mail Mrs. Koerkenmeier at mkoerkenmeier@centralcougars.org for more information about the Snack Pack Program, or stop by her office.
