This week during Chapel, the elementary students listened as Mr. Ben Starburg used science lessons to talk about God's forgiveness of our sins. The junior high and high school students were blessed with a concert by the ECS choir and band.
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- AXTON FIELDS! Axton is a quiet guy who doesn't draw attention to himself, but he can easily make you laugh with his unexpected quick wit! Ax is a four-year basketball player and track athlete, and also spent several years on Student Council, serving as president his junior year. Axton has a wide variety of adventurous interests including riding motorcycles, traveling, and airsoft (it is somewhat amazing that his 'fun fact' is that he has never broken a bone!), but when it comes to a future career, Axton is focused on software engineering. Axton bleeds purple, so his plan for the fall is to head to Manhattan to become a Kansas State University Wildcat. Congrats, Axton! We can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you!
After talking about unique engineering issues designers have in creating a space craft for Mars, the 6th grade students were tasked with creating a space lander using only the supplies furnished (paper plates, index cards, straws, cotton balls, tape). The sweet astronauts (big marshmallows) could not be dislodged in its landing. Central's golf team got into the fun as members of each group.
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- AVA SIEBERT! Ava joined the Class of 2024 as a junior, and it didn't take long to see that she has many amazing talents! Ava has a beautiful singing voice and a fantastic stage presence which have been showcased in several musicals and plays. Ava also has a heart for serving others, especially the residents she cares for in the nursing home where she works. She has gotten an early start on her career by earning her CNA and beginning her CMA while in high school, and she is excited to continue her education toward a nursing degree. Ava will be attending Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina next year, where she will also be participating in choir and theater. Congratulations, Ava, go do great things!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- DOMINICK LUNDBERG! This young man is not only a musician and an athlete, but he is an extremely talented artist as well! Dominick was recently voted "Student Choice Best in Show" at the Wheat State League Art Festival, and his artwork will be on display at the McPherson County Student Art Exhibition this week. Dom is a kind-hearted guy who enjoys serving others, as evidenced by the many hours he has invested this year in assisting with a local church plant. Dominick is a Discipleship Group Leader, the StuCo President, and the 2024 Homecoming King. We wish him all the best as he heads to Hutchinson Community College in the fall to major in Art. Congratulations, Dominick!

The third grade class performed a "Talents of Three" talent show this week during chapel. The message of the show was to remind us that we must give of ourselves as well as our talents. We all have talents we must share with others and be faithful managers of what we are given. When we use our abilities to help others, God is glorified. Great job, third graders!
