🏀 Middle School Basketball Season Recap 🏀
Our middle school basketball seasons have come to a close, and we're so proud of how our student-athletes competed in this year’s Heart of the Plains League tournaments. Beyond the scores and standings, we saw growth and perseverance displayed on and off the court.
Middle School Boys Head Basketball Coach, Ryan Duft:
“I am very proud of our middle school boys basketball team.They were a joy to coach, and it was exciting to see the growth of our team throughout the year—not only on the basketball court, but also in their walk with the Lord. Although we had a young team, they worked hard and finished sixth in league play. I am especially proud of our C team, who finished the season undefeated with a 6–0 record. I am looking forward to next year as we continue to build on the foundation that was started this season.”
Middle School Girls Head Basketball Coach, AJ Caldwell:
“The girls finished out their season in the first round of the HOPL tournament. While we did not want the season to end so soon, we are so proud of the girls and the progress they made this year! We ended up finishing undefeated at home against league opponents, which is something to be incredibly proud of! We look forward to getting better during the off-season as we prepare for next year! Go, Cougars!
Way to go, Cougars! Thank you to our coaches, families, and fans for supporting our middle school athletes.

Although our 100th day of school has passed, the joy from that celebration still makes us smile. Our students in Grades K–2 had so much fun dressing up and marking an exciting milestone in their school year.
And, we give a shout-out to our creative teachers who joined in on the fun right alongside their students. Fun outfits made the day even more special. We love seeing our teachers celebrate learning and create memorable moments for our students!

Our elementary students had a lot of fun celebrating Valentine’s Day. Times like these remind us that the greatest example of love comes from Christ Himself.
At Central Christian, we teach students that love is more than cards and treats. It's shown through generosity, compassion, patience, and caring for one another. As Scripture reminds us, “We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19).
We are grateful that we can celebrate Christ’s love and encourage our students to reflect that love in the way they treat others.

Our 4th grade students did an incredible job bringing famous Kansans to life during our annual Wax Museum. Each student researched a notable Kansan, wrote a report, and then dressed as their historical figure while sharing their speech with guests in our gymnasium.
It was a joy to watch our students grow in confidence, knowledge, and presentation skills while celebrating the people God has used to shape our great state. We are incredibly proud of their hard work!

Our 6th graders recently completed a meaningful writing assignment that connected them with our Class of 2026 seniors! Each student interviewed a senior, asked thoughtful questions, and then transformed those conversations into a well-organized written paper.
It was a great opportunity to build writing skills, practice communication, and strengthen the sense of community we value so deeply at Central Christian School. We love seeing students learn from one another!
