Scoops Of Support
The Central High School Foundation partnered with eCreamery Ice Cream &
Gelato to be the May Community Partner of the Month. The specialty flavor
of “Cones, Caps & Gowns” was available for purchase in the eCreamery parlor
as well as online. A Scoops of Support fundraiser was held on May 24th at

out the ice cream and chat with the “Celebrity Guests”: Dr. Ed Bennett, Vicki
Wiles, Harry Gaylor, Jimmie Foster, Diane Allen, Eric Behrens, Jay

consisted of cake batter ice cream, chocolate-covered waffle cone bits, and
purple celebration sprinkles. The CHSF will be partnering with eCreamery Ice
Cream & Gelato in November 2019 for another specialty flavor and event.

Eagle Spirit runs deep for the Chairs of this year’s Generation “C”
campaign. Rusty Crossman (‘66), and his two daughters Elizabeth Crossman
Cook (‘95)and Allyson Crossman Slobotski (‘98), continue to be important
members of the Central community. Even with their busy lives, they all boast
impressive lists of community service and remain passionate about giving back
to their alma mater: Central High School.

Rusty (‘66) is an Omaha ophthalmologist whose incredible vision for Central

High School led to the creation of the Central High School Foundation in
1996. Rusty received his undergraduate degree from St. Olaf College before
completing his doctorate degree from the University of Nebraska Medical
Center. His energy and enthusiasm for his alma mater are boundless, and the
positive results will impact Central and the Omaha community forever. The
most important thing in Rusty’s life is his family. Rusty is married to
Stephanie Meyers and has 3 daughters, 1 son, and 5 grandchildren.

Elizabeth (‘95) graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor

of Arts in Business Administration with a major in finance and a minor in
accounting and French. She has been employed with First National Bank for
the past twenty-two years, currently serving as the Sr. Director of Talent
Acquisition and HR Business Partnering. Liz currently serves on the CHS
Hall of Fame Selection Committee as well as the Executive and Human
Resources Committees for Heartland Workforce Solutions. Some of her
interests include following Husker football and volleyball, playing golf,
enjoying country music, and spending time with her husband, Shawn, and her
three boys: Evan (9), Nathan (7) and Ryan (5).
THE CROSSMAN FAMILY Allyson (‘98) also graduated from Texas Christian University majoring in
2018-19 GENERATION “C” CHAIRS accounting and finance. She then received a Master of Accounting from TCU
and her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. The
first five years of her career she worked for Koley Jessen P.C., L.L.O. focusing
Rusty Crossman (‘66) on estate planning and tax disputes. She has spent the past seven years as an
in-house state tax attorney for Union Pacific Railroad. Within the Omaha
Elizabeth Crossman Cook (‘95) community, Ally served as the first Guild President for the WCA Omaha as
well as Treasurer for the Midlands Mentoring Partnership. She currently is the
Scholarship Advisor for Chi Omega Sorority at UNO. Ally and her husband
Allyson Crossman Slobotski (‘98) Mark have twin boys: Leo and Parker.

 Experiential Learning
The Color Purple
On Thursday, April 12, 2018, students from CHS English classes had the
opportunity to attend a performance of “The Color Purple: The Musical” at
the Lied Center for the Performing Arts in Lincoln. More than 40 Eagles,
mostly juniors and seniors, were able to take in the Tony award-winning
musical based on the 1982 novel by Alice Walker. Prior to the performance,
students took part in an educational performance guide. One of the speakers
who led the pre-show discussion was CHS alum Mecca Slaughter, who is a
member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority at the University of Nebraska -
Lincoln. After attending the performance, students wrote short responses to
discuss their thoughts about the show.

“The Color Purple: The Musical” follows Celie, who is a fourteen year old
African-American woman living in Georgia during the early 20th century,
as she journeys from childhood through joy and despair, anguish and hope to
discover the power of love and life.

Students who attended the performance raved about how amazing it was to
see the characters and story that they had read (from Alice Walker’s novel)
come to life. Read below some of the reactions by CHS students who
attended this experiential learning opportunity.

Providing the students of Central with an unrivaled college preparatory

education is the Central High School Foundation’s top priority. The Central
High School Foundation believes that opportunities should exist for all of our
young people, regardless of their background or socio-economic status.

 Student IMPACT
The Mission of the Central High School Foundation’s is “To improve the education of present and future
students at Central High School.” One way the mission is fulfilled is through classroom grants. Read
below about how CHS teachers used classroom grants received from the Central High School Foundation.

World War II History Tour

Social studies teacher Scott Wilson took Eagles from honors history classes on a World World II
history tour in Europe in June, 2018. 39 students and six faculty members went on this
experiential learning trip. One of the places the group stopped was the Meuse-Argonne
American Cemetery (WWI) in Romagne, France, which is where CHS graduate Marion Crandell
is buried. Marion was the first American woman killed in action during World War I in 1918.
The group also visited the graves of the 6 former Central students buried in Netherlands
American Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands. This history trip is offered to students by Mr.
Wilson every three years.

Science department
Teachers in the CHS Science Department have seen student interest in Adanvanced
Placement Chemistry increase 10-fold thanks to a classroom grant from the Central High
School Foundation. Even simple supplies such as presentation materials are needed because
although this equipment is many times low cost, it is outside of the department’s budget. With
the Science Grant, Central High School is now entering three times as many projects into
science fairs and competitions compared to prior years. In addition, students have had
experiential learning opportunities at places such as Creighton University’s Cadaver Lab, the
Glacier Creek Preserve, and the Science Olympiad.

Eagle Broadcasting on STrivTV

Thanks to a grant from the Central High School Foundation, Central High School students
have the opportunity to produce, direct, and participate in live-streaming of Eagle events on the
StrivTV platform. With three high-definition video cameras, a state of the art sound board, a
switcher, and even professional broadcasting software, our Eagles have state of the art
equipment to share what’s going on at CHS with all of our alumni around the globe. This
student-led broadcast team includes camera operators, play-by-play announcers, color
commentators, and student directors. Some of the events that the Eagle Broadcasting Channel
on StrivTV covers include football games, basketball games, volleyball games, soccer matches,
the Central High School Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the Road Show, and Senior
Recognition Ceremony.

About the Repurposing Project

Upon completion of the Arts and Library Addition, the Central High School
Foundation and Omaha Public Schools will begin to repurpose existing
building space where the former arts, band, vocal and library were located in
the original building structure. These spaces will be turned into classrooms and
study spaces. The planned end date for the project is Spring 2020.
