2 Opening Division AddionS impRoVe edUCaoN O ver the summer months, many changes occurred at ayer Cen- tral. One major change was centered around the outdated classrooms. Sele rooms received facelifts that included new paint jobs, cabinetry, suspended ceilings, carpet, bigger desks for teachers, and new marker boards. e update made the classrooms brighter and more efficient. New storage in the classrooms allows for more workspace that will definitely be utilized by stu- dents and staff. “e new paint and carpet creates a more comfortable area for students. e bright blue and white makes the rooms seem like they belong in the 20th century,” said Adam Meyer (12). Very few schools are able to say they are the first school in Nebraska to serve locally raised beef for lunch. However, ayer Central can say just that. Students are fed real beef three times a week for lunch, thanks to the Titan Beef Boosters, and surrounding community members who donated animals or money to the program. Along with the Beef Booster Pro- gram, a National FFA organization was added to ayer Central. is organization allows members to learn more about agriculture in our area and leadership. As a group they participat- ed in events like Husker Harvest Days and Livestock Judging. “Adding National FFA has allowed many students to learn about agricul- ture and explore what it would be like to have a career in this field. Also, hav- ing a local beef program in our own school is a great way to learn about the benefits of beef,” said the ayer Central FFA president Colton Fang- meier (12). Updates and changes provide higher learning for students Collin Fink (11) explains his point on a topic to friends at the Back to School Bash. e Back to School Bash was held on main street.
