💜💛 Congratulations to our May 2026 District Student of the Month Cora Plumley! She is featured in today's edition of The Observer thanks to our friends at @firstcentralsb.
Whether she is encouraging a classmate, challenging herself to improve, or bringing positivity into the classroom, Cora makes a difference each and every day at Central DeWitt.
“Cora is one of those students who truly brightens our classroom every single day,” her teacher Mrs. Hamann said. “Her positivity is genuine and contagious, and she brings a joyful energy that lifts up the people around her.”
One of Cora’s most notable qualities is her quiet determination. She works hard, consistently pushes herself, and strives to do her best in all that she does. She takes pride in her growth and does not settle for anything less than her personal best.
“You should be proud of yourself every day. You should always do stuff and challenge yourself to be good at stuff and always practice all the time,” Cora said. Her mindset reflects the dedication and perseverance she demonstrates in the classroom each day.
Equally impressive is the way Cora treats others. She is a compassionate and thoughtful friend who makes a conscious effort to include everyone. She is attentive to the needs of those around her and responds with kindness and empathy, ensuring others feel seen, valued, and supported. Cora believes, “You should always treat people how you want to be treated,” a message she lives out daily through her actions.
Through her positivity, determination, and kindness toward others, Cora sets a great example for those around her. She is a wonderful role model for all Sabers, and we are proud to recognize her as the Student of the Month!

Over the last few weeks, students from Jumpstart Kindergarten through 8th grade enjoyed Field & Fitness Days filled with fun, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. From obstacle courses, ring toss, potato sack races, tug-of-war, basketball, and relay races to a day at the pool for our middle school students, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
These special days gave students a chance for students to get active, have fun, and burn off some of that end-of-year energy. Thanks to all of the staff who helped make these events a success!
Take a look at some of the fun from Field & Fitness Days across the district! 📸 For more photos visit our Facebook page!

We get asked about that new shed by the high school a lot, and if you've been wondering what it's for, here's your answer! 🎺🥁🔨
This new storage building was constructed by our CDHS Building Trades students under the guidance of Mr. Marshall and will serve as a storage space for the Marching Sabers Pride equipment.
Instead of transporting instruments and equipment back and forth from the band room for every practice, band members will be able to store them right next to their practice field—saving valuable time and allowing students to focus on learning their music and routines.
We're proud of this collaboration between two outstanding programs. Our Building Trades students gained hands-on construction experience while creating something that will benefit the marching band for years to come.
Great work by our students, staff, and everyone involved in bringing this project to life! 💜 👏 💛

Throughout their careers, they have made a lasting difference through their hard work, compassion, and commitment to helping others succeed. Their impact can be seen in the relationships they built, the lives they touched, and the positive influence they brought to our schools each day. 🌟
We are deeply grateful for everything they have given to our district over the years. While they will be greatly missed, we are excited for them as they begin this next chapter.
