Mr. Humphrey’s homeroom is starting a new tradition, food day once a month.  To kick off the first food day of the new year, many treats were brought by all, but the highlight of the morning was Westin Nottleman’s pancakes.  She came prepared with a griddle and all the pancake fixings.  She even took the time to coordinate her outfit with an apron and a Chef Westin hat. Several ideas were kicked around for starting new traditions for the new year, but the freshman homeroom settled on a food day once month, and the new tradition was a delicious success!

Elementary HAL Art Show

The Language Art HAL students had the opportunity to present their art to the school. Each art exhibit had to include a minimum of 4 pieces of art with display cards that explained their logic or reasoning of what they created. The mediums included sculptures, acrylic, watercolor, electronic art, music, pencil, and collages. On each individuals exhibit was a brochure that they created. The brochures included an autobiography, two features artists, and their favorite medium. I am very proud of the effort and hard work that each student put into their project. All of the students from the Elementary were able to come in and critique each art exhibit as well, everyone involved enjoyed the show!

Mrs. Pace took the Introduction to Theatre class to watch Ballet Nebraska’s, The Nutcracker, on Friday, December 2nd at the Orpheum Theater. It was a great opportunity to experience the concepts we had been learning in class firsthand. The production was incredible, and the whole group thoroughly enjoyed it. After watching the production, we ate lunch together at Spaghetti Works and discussed the effectiveness of the many elements of stage production we had been learning about.

HOPE begins with you!

The Fort Calhoun girls and boys basketball teams just completed their first Kindergarten-2nd grade basketball league! They had 40 participants that went through three weeks of skills instruction courtesy of the high school basketball teams. The session ended with three weeks of games and a tournament. The teams were coached by high school players that donated their time to benefit our basketball programs!
