Kid’s Club Got Creative

Our Kid’s Club students enjoyed getting creative during Drama week. They took a field trip to the Omaha Community Playhouse and performed their puppet show titled “The Dragon Who Ate the Library” for the residents at Autumn Pointe in Fort Calhoun.

Thursday, August 9th, Kid’s Club is having their 2nd annual lemonade stand. This year they will have lemonade, snow cones, and baked goods. They will be in front of the fire station from 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm. They are only asking for donations and all proceeds will be given to the Fort Calhoun Volunteer Fire Department. Last year the kids collected over $100! Please help them read their goal of over $200 this year.
