Sports Equipment Swap
This Saturday, the Optimist Club will host their annual Sports Equipment Swap at the fairgrounds from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. With baseball, basketball, softball, and all other summer camps starting soon, this is a great way for all families to bring equipment your child might have outgrown and pick up a larger size! Trading sports equipment over buying new has some fantastic perks! 🔄 Here's why:
Eco-Friendly Choices: Trading gear reduces waste and gives used items a second life.
Save Those Bucks: Why spend a fortune on new equipment when you can get what you need through a trade? 💰
Connect and Share Stories: Trading opens up opportunities to connect with fellow sports enthusiasts, sharing stories and experiences.
Perfect Fit, No Compromises: Trading allows you to find the right-sized and styled equipment without compromise. 👟🎾
Customize Your Game: Personalize your sports gear collection by trading for unique and standout pieces. 🎨
Thoughtful Gifting: Trade sports equipment for one-of-a-kind, thoughtful gifts that reflect the love of the game. 🎁

Introducing Senior Podcast!
After being in the high school environment for almost four years, Central High School seniors have learned what keeps them on track, makes them successful and are excited about what is on the horizon after graduation. Bottom line: these students have advice to give to younger students and want to share about their future plans.In this podcast series, we sit down with a handful of senior students to find out more about their life at CHS. From their favorite teacher, to the best lunch item on the menu and more, we get to hear the inside scoop. With the end of the school year right around the corner, this series will also highlight students and share information about what their plans are after they graduate. Whether it is going to college, getting a job or finding their path—these students have put in ample amounts of work over the last four years and they deserve the spotlight. “We are excited to give them a platform for them to express themselves,” said superintendent of schools Dr. Mark Pines. “We love highlighting their achievements, showcasing their determination and finding out more about the connections they’ve built here.”To kickoff this series senior and district communications intern Amy Norton sits down to talk with senior Kate Townes.Townes plans on attending SUNY Fredonia this upcoming fall and plans on majoring in music education. She has involved herself with various clubs and activities while in high school and hopes to stay involved in her community over the summer.In this episode, Townes explains how she uses items like her planner to stay on task and keep up with assignments. These small tips are what has helped her and she hopes other students will benefit as well.This episode is a great start to the series and you don’t want to miss it! . . .
