We can't wait to see everyone get into the Homecoming spirit! Go Rebels! #SiouxCentralRebels

This year, Sioux Central is proud to begin a new Homecoming tradition by recognizing our very first Grand Marshals. It is only fitting that we start with two individuals who have dedicated so much of their lives to our school and community: Mr. Eric Boge and Mr. Craig Cadman.

For generations of students, staff, and families, these two men have been fixtures of Sioux Central. Prior to their retirement, they devoted countless hours to supporting our students, strengthening our school, and helping make Sioux Central the special place it is today. Their commitment, pride, and service have left a lasting impact that continues to be felt throughout our district.

Please join us in thanking and celebrating Mr. Boge and Mr. Cadman, the inaugural Sioux Central Homecoming Grand Marshals!

Thank you to our students and families for helping us keep the weight room safe for everyone. Go Rebels!

This week, our FCCLA members had a great time attending the Fall Leadership Rally! Members had the chance to meet students from other schools, grow their leadership skills, and learn more about all the opportunities FCCLA has to offer.

Several of our members also participated in Iowa Events, including the Charcuterie Board Challenge, Children’s Literature, Grilled Cheese Challenge, Spirit Wear, and Trendy Drink Challenge! 🎉

We are so proud of all of our members for representing our chapter and putting in the time and effort to participate. Great job, FCCLA! ❤️

Mr. Anderson challenged the 7th Grade science classes to perform some magic. It's not magic...it's science. Ask a 7th grade student, they'll tell you how it works.

POSTPONED! The uniform garage sale planned for the Sept 25 will be postponed to a later date due to the rain. If you would like to purchase items before homecoming, items will be available in the commons during the football and volleyball games on Tuesday, Sept 29th.

This Veterans Day the students in Mrs. Vanderhoff's and Mrs. Rusk's speech classes are inviting friends, family, and our school community to participate in DAV Field of Flags, a nationwide program that invites schools to transform their outdoor spaces into patriotic displays of American flags in honor of Veterans Day. Each flag represents a veteran, creating a powerful tribute that recognizes the service and sacrifice of our nation's heroes while raising critical funds to support ill and injured veterans and their families.

Visit dav.org/flags and use the search box in the top right corner to find our school and make your donation. All donations are tax deductible.

Donations starts Sept. 24th and will be taken through the month of October.

Thank you and let's make this Veterans Day really special for our veterans.
