Game On!
October 13th marked the end of quarter one. Students got to send out the first quarter in style with a prep assembly and the annual staff vs students volleyball game. Students who bought a $1 ticket were taken to the gym during the last two hours of the day to watch the festivities.
Before the volleyball game, the Pep Club hosted a balloon relay were students and teachers worked in teams to gather balloons from one side of the gym to the other side. There were six teams, three on each side of the gym, all racing to be the first to get all the balloons into their box. There was a lot of cheating creative participation by many of the teams that made it hard to determine which team came out as the winners. Results are still be contested.
The staff had better luck with the volleyball game where they swept the students by winning all three games. The eighth grade volleyball players that played against the teachers did a very good job against the teacher and the scores were very close in many of the games.
Book Fair arrives at CMS!
By: Maritxa Sanchez
During the month of October, Central Middle School was the host of the Scholastic Book Fair. The fair is a yearly event and helps to raise money for the school's library and is always a favorite event among students.
Ms. Kuch, Central Middle School's librarian hosts the fair each year and helps students navigate the many offerings. She says she hopes that each students get a book they didn't even know they wanted to get at the book fair. Ms. Kuch's favorite book from the book fair is Miss Quinces by Kat Farjado.
The book fair helps the school because it gives students the opportunity to buy books but it also raises money for the school to buy more furniture and books for the library. While many students were able to get books as well as pens, highlighters, bookmarks, and other items, all students were seen enjoying the fair and seeing what new books were offered this year.

Central Figures
The People that Make Central Middle School Great!
Ms. Holley - by Erick Regalado Camino
Ms. Holley our technology teacher she has been working at Central Middle School for four years. She's originally from Kansas City, Missouri. Ms. Holley started at CMS after looking for a change. One of her favorite things about working at Central is that it's helped her to learn Spanish. One thing she doesn't like about her job is when student's don't do their homework.
After a long day, she likes to go to the gym after school. If she had gotten a job outside of education, she would have wanted to be an airline flight attendant. Ms. Holley's advice to students is to ¨get to know your teachers".
Ms Holley's Favorite ThingsColor: Blue
Animal: Dogs
Food: Chicken
Desert: Cupcake
Movie: Just Wright
