DeliSh Central is officially OPEN for the school year!
And wow… what a kickoff!!
Today’s first meal featured Rigatoni, Caesar Salad, and Cannoli, led by Head Chef Cristhian!
•Main Dish: Rigatoni all’Amatriciana with breadstick
•Side: Classic Caesar Salad
•Dessert: Cannoli
This hearty Italian meal brought bold flavors, serious comfort, and a sweet finish to start the year right. From perfectly cooked rigatoni in rich tomato sauce to crisp Caesar salad and a cannoli finale, it was a hit from first bite to last crumb.
And let’s talk popularity…
DeliSh Central spots filled up in record time, with all slots claimed almost immediately. Blink and you missed it.
All students will get the chance to step into the Head Chef role this year, and if today was any indication, we are in for an incredible lineup of meals ahead.
Thank you to Chef Cristhian and the entire class for launching the year in delicious fashion!!!!
YUMMMMMMMM!!!! #SiouxCentralRebels #RebelLegends #NoOrdinaryRebels

Just a reminder...the 8th grade girls basketball game in Emmetsburg today starts at 4:15 p.m. and will be at WEST Elementary.
Last night, we were proud to recognize Brooke Goodchild and Laney Wilson as Sioux Central Kid Captains.
Both students were selected for demonstrating what it means to be safe, caring, respectful, and responsible. Our varsity basketball teams enjoyed having them as Kid Captains, and we love celebrating students who represent Sioux Central in such a positive way.
Great job, Brooke and Laney. Keep up the great work. #SiouxCentralRebels #BuildingRebels #FullThrottleRebels
