It’s March Madness in the music department but not because of basketball. The annual school musical is right around the corner! Students, teachers and community volunteers have been working late into the evenings as we prepare for the opening night of Anastasia on March 28th. We recently began orchestra rehearsals, as well. We are pleased to be able to accompany our musical performances with a live, professional orchestra. This year’s orchestra is comprised of music teachers past, present, and future. Suzanne Philippi, who has been accompanying musicals for over 40 years, will be on the keyboard alongside our own talented and versatile Micah Hesterman. Other players include our student teacher, Faith Blauhorn, and other music educators from the area. There are some music education students from UNL and UNK who round out the group, as well. It’s a great opportunity for them to get some field experience before entering the profession.

Blizzard conditions force historic newspaper print delay

1 year ago By News Staff

For the first time in over five years, and only one of a handful of times in our newspaper’s long history, the Central City Republican-Nonpareil will experience a delay in printing due to extreme winter weather conditions. The ongoing blizzard, which has caused widespread power outages and hazardous conditions in Aurora—where our newspaper is printed—has forced us to push our printing schedule back by one day.

Another year and another successful Central City Public School’s Science Fair is in the books. This was a big year for the program that has been a cornerstone at the school for decades. Among those smiling faces presenting were the likes of Dylan Church and Fyn Fasbender who worked together on their research project. Other bright minds like Kaelyn Kelly (bottom photo) worked independently as they researched topics that impact the world around us.

Central City science fair returns for twentieth year

1 year ago By Grant Brooks R-n Reporter
On March 4, the numerous young researchers of Central City High School had the opportunity to present their projects after months of hard work. The researchers set up in the high school’s commons, where they would elaborate upon their research to judges, along with interested peers and parents alike. This marks the twentieth year of the science fair with Chelle Gillan at the helm. Chelle is the main coordinator of the event, but still receives plenty of help from the other science teachers there at the school. If the wind didn’t blow the fair-goers away beforehand, this year’s research certainly would. Despite the harrowing wind which caused multiple businesses in town to close that day, the science fair was still on, showing nothing can impede the ways of science.

Leaders Act, Leaders Say, Leaders Think, Leaders Are, Leaders Can, and Leaders Have. 5th grade students became very familiar with these statements throughout their Leadership class this school year. Each fifth grade student is given the opportunity to be a part of a trimester leadership class. Students begin the trimester by working in groups to talk about leadership qualities that good leaders possess. Students then have the opportunity to connect with local leaders in our community by visiting a variety of businesses. The business leaders share different leadership qualities they need in order for their business to succeed. Qualities business owners make sure to address include the importance of teamwork, accountability, communication, and problem-solving skills.
