Congratulations to Thayer Central's Peyton Fangmeier for signing her letter of intent today! Peyton will cheer for Doane University next year. We're proud the work you've put into the cheer program the last four years!

Thayer Central juniors visited UNL yesterday. They had the opportunity to learn about admission requirements, what the day in the life of a college student looks like, take a campus tour and eat lunch in a cafeteria.

The Senior Career/Life Skills class has the opportunity to learn some basic laws that are important to understand as they leave high school and enter in their next phase of life! Thank you Deputy Geiger for the education and real life scenarios!

Students in Sports & Entertainment Marketing recently learned about the history of Oreo cookies in honor of National Oreo Cookie Day on March 6. Students were tasked with creating a NEW flavor that does not already exist...and trust us, there are a LOT of previous flavors.

Vote for your favorite "new" flavor by commenting on Facebook!

The freshmen attended a Connecting the Dots activity in Fairbury where they had the opportunity to explore careers, the amount of education needed for that career as well as what a good resume’ looks like and the different personality traits that describe them.

The Senior Career/Life Skills class took part in a self-defense class this week and learned some basic escape techniques. Michael (Thayer Central Alum) & Christy Hawkins, who own the Hebron Jiu Jitsu & MMA gym, demonstrated some different escape strategies that people can utilize when they find themselves in scary situations. Students had the ability to partner with another student and learn how to apply these techniques on one another. This was a great learning opportunity for our students! Thank you Michael & Christy!
