Elementary School Says Goodbye to Mr. Wagner
Students at Fort Calhoun Elementary gathered Friday afternoon to wish Mr. Wagner well as he heads overseas to serve our Country. He is a first sergeant for the Mission Support Group at the Air National Guard in Sioux City, Iowa’s 185th Air Refueling Wing. The students surprised him by waving flags, chanting Mr Wagner, and making signs showing their gratitude. The local fire department even had one of their trucks with an American Flag hanging overhead. Thank you Mr. Wagner for your service!

PLC Gets New Concrete Thanks to Building and Construction Class
The Building and Construction class along with their teacher, Mr. Humphrey, poured concrete and finished the back patio at the PLC. All of the students contributed by completing various steps in the process of this project. The new area will be furnished with picnic tables and benches. It will provide an outdoor space to be utilized for instruction, eating, and socializing.
Communities That Care
If you have been looking for a way to get more involved in your community and benefit the youth of your community, THIS IS IT!

CTC guides communities through a proven five-phase change process. Using prevention science as its base, CTC promotes healthy youth development, improves youth outcomes, and reduces problem behaviors.

Pioneer Strong Project
Message from Fort Calhoun Booster Club
Dear Business Owner/Manager,
As the coaches, teachers and student-athletes prepare to finish out the school year, the Booster Club is looking ahead and planning for positive additions to the Fort. We are working on a special “Pioneer Strong” project that we need your generous donation to help fund.
The Fort Calhoun High School weight room is in need of updated equipment. We want the best for our student athletes as they condition year round for their sports and health. Roughly 200+ students, athletes and community members use our weight room daily. With so many using the equipment over the years, it has taken a toll. Coach Shepardson is committed to our strength and conditioning program and desires to create a powerhouse facility for our students which will lead to improvement for all of our athletic programs.
Our “Pioneer Strong” project is projected into three phases of need:
Phase 1 – double-sided, multi-racks, new benches and Pioneer branding $34,000 – $36,000
Phase 2 – bumper plates for each rack $12, 925
Phase 3 – platforms and jammer arms $33,000 – $35,000
The Booster Club’s goal is to raise enough funds to complete phase 1, with install, before the summer programming begins. We realize this is a hefty goal in a short amount of time, but we are committed to this project and believe in the importance of new and modern equipment.
We also believe our students and community deserve the best.
Will you please consider a financial donation to this project?
Your continued support to our Booster Club is a generous, tax-free donation and will give our weight room the impact it needs to create an environment that leads to positive results and outcomes. With your donation, your company’s name will be recognized in our weight room.
Mailed-in donations can be directly sent to:
Fort Calhoun High School
Pioneer Strong Project
5876 County Road P43
Fort Calhoun, Ne. 68023
Thank you for your support and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
GO PIONEERS!
