In Senior Life Skills, Jenna Gilbert & Rachel Adam from the UNL Extension Office came and introduced a dorm microwavable meal that seniors could recreate next year while in a college dorm room. The meal included a bowtie pasta dish (adding butter and seasonings to students' liking), broccoli (seasoned accordingly), and a pop cake that included 2 ingredients, cake mix & either pepsi or sprite. The students were able to take home the recipe cards for this meal for future reference.

On Monday, January 12th during TT, Thayer Central recognized the outstanding academic efforts of their students by announcing the superior honor roll and honor roll for semester 1. One hundred and twenty seven 7-12th grade students were honored which is 60.2% of our student body. Seventy four students achieved Superior Honor Roll (earned all A’s) and 53 students achieved Honor Roll (earned A’s & B’s). Congratulations to all of you!

During the week of January 6-9th, members of the Senior Life/Career Skills class participated in an outreach experience at The Courtyard Terrace Assisted Living Home. Seniors at Thayer Central had the opportunity to have conversations with the residents about their lives as well as play various games throughout the week such as: trivia bingo, Uno, horse races, and wheel of fortune. These experiences were valuable to not only the students but the residents as well.
