Literacy Night comes to Central
February 29th is a day that comes around only once every four years, and this year Central used it to celebrated Literacy! Families were invited to participate in a verity of games, explore the book fair, and eat yummy froggy fries. Some families walked away with prizes for movie nights, bowling, and gift cards. We hope everyone that came out had a great time, and for everyone that missed it, we hope to see you next year!

The People that Make Central Middle School Great!
Ms. Short - by Mayra Padilla
Ms Short is one of the counselors and this is her second year at Central Middle School. Ms Short got a job in education because she wanted to help kids feel accepted, loved, and wanted to help with their future. What Ms Short loves most about her job is her relationship with kids and having fun with them. However, she doesn’t like to see kids hurt each other.
If Ms Short could have a different job than a counselor, she would be an Ophthalmologist (eye doctor). Some advice Ms Short would give to students is, “Do not give up on yourself, ask for help when you need it.” When not at school, Ms Short likes to watch horror movies, go outside, plant flowers, and go on road trips.
Ms Short's Favorite ThingsAnimal: Cat
Food: Mashed potatoes
Desert: Brownies
Movie: Tons of horror movies
Book: All the Light You Cannot See
Ms. Gittinger - by Mayra Padilla
Ms. Gittinger is an 8th grade integrated reading & writing teacher, who has been teaching at Central for 5 years. She got a job in education because, “My mom taught 4th grade for 40 years, so, she was sorta my inspiration.” What Ms. Gittinger likes about her job is the students and reading, but doesn’t like to grade papers. If Ms. Gittinger could have a different job instead of education, she would prefer to be a librarian. Advice that she would give to her students is, “Stay caught up with your work, it’s easy to stay caught up, but hard to catch up.” What Ms. Gittinger enjoys doing outside of school is to rock climb. Something that makes her unusual or unique is that, she can solve a Rubix's cube under 1 minute.
