Some of Miss Ekroth's 2nd grade class came to Enhancement Day on Friday and enjoyed working on phonics skills as well as adding two-digit numbers with and without regrouping. 2nd graders enjoy coming to Enhancements Days on Fridays to improve their reading and math skills.

In Mrs. Brooke Johnson’s 7th grade class, the students are starting the Revolutionary War unit. They will take guided notes on the causes and for the learning of the actual war, they are going to play a DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) version of it. A great interactive way to learn! The pictures show the students picking/designing their characters and tasks they will need/use in hopes of surviving the war. 

The 3rd grade students in Ms. Arpan’s class are getting to know their basic multiplication facts by utilizing different tools (worksheets, multiplication booklets, etc.).

Six students represent Andes Central at the 2025 Junior High Band Festival in Platte on Tuesday. The students practiced vigorously from 8:30 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. with a concert closing the day. Some of the music they performed was “Big Bass Boogie”, “Stampede”, “Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite”, and “Deck the Halls with Chips and Salsa”. The students representing Andes Central Middle School were Aaliyah, Sadie, Emma, Matthew, Alison, and Scarlette.

Kindergarteners are practicing their alphabet skills by putting the letters in order.  They are also working really hard to become readers.  They are so proud when they successfully read sentences!
