Tonight is our annual Athletic Banquet. Thank you to Mr. Holthaus for organizing this event. Thank you to all the parents for not only the great food tonight but also for raising amazing young individuals! Great night of celebrating the awards and accomplishments of all our student athletes.

Kindergarten & 1st grade enjoyed their field trip today. They took a tour of the Jackson County EMS Ambulances, played & ate lunch at the Holton City Park, & enjoyed the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center in Topeka. Thank you to the Booster Club for paying the way to the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center for all kindergarten & first grade students! The kids had a blast!

Today we celebrated some great accomplishments within our Panther Family. Two students from Centralia High School were selected as top 3 finalists and winners of a Financial Literacy Essay Contest sponsored by the Kansas Department of Insurance through the Kansas Council on Economic Education. Kansas Insurance Commissioner, Vicki Schmidt, announced Parker Koch as the 3rd place winner, and Morgan Allen as the 1st place winner. Parker was awarded $2,000 and Morgan was awarded $5,000. In addition, Morgan will be entered in a follow-up essay contest. The essay prompt was "If you were given $100,000 dollars today to invest for your future, what would you do with it? Describe how you would invest the money and how it would further your overall financial goals." The scholarship money will be put into a 529 account to be used for future education expenses. Great job to students, faculty, and parents for these accomplishments.
