Congratulations to our 2014 State Track Qualifiers. Grace Whitlaw qualified for high jump. Alex Tietz qualified for the 1600M run and the 3200M run and Adam Robinson qualified for the 3200M run. Wish them luck at State on May 23 and 24th.
The 3rd and 4th graders from Ft. Calhoun Elementary decided to clean up the school yard and playground. We had discussions on giving back to our school and community by volunteering. Students brought gloves, rakes, gardening tools and brooms to get the task done. Everyone enjoyed the teamwork and results when the job was complete. Mr. Dave Neumann was very appreciative of all the hard work!
