Veterans Honored at Fort Calhoun High School

On Friday, November 10th, Fort Calhoun Community Schools honored our Veterans by having a Veteran’s Day Ceremony. The event was hosted by our Skills USA students with an introduction by Wylie Oliver and the MC being Kloey Appel. The High School Band and Choir both performed several patriotic songs including the Armed Forces Salute.  The 4th Graders also helped us celebrate by performing the song “Stars and Stripes Forever.” Mark Erikson was the Keynote Speaker.  Several service members from the Military were in attendances and enjoyed a luncheon prepared by the school kitchen staff and served by the Skills USA students. Thank you to everyone who helped with the event. Once again, Fort Calhoun Schools would like to thank all our Veterans for their service to our country.

       

Grossology at the Elementary

Many thanks to the Fort Calhoun PFE for sponsoring the assembly “Grossology” from the Omaha Children’s Museum. The Elementary students discovered some of the anatomy’s most interesting facts in the most disgustingly fun way. Some 6th graders I spoke to said: “it was a little gross.” However, they liked the visuals and they also said: “it was a fun way to learn about our bodies.” Thanks again PFE for all you do for our students.

  

Congratulations High School Marching Band

Congratulations to our Marching Band for receiving a superior rating at the NSBA State Marching Band Competition. Great job on all the hard work and time spent to reach this goal. Seniors pictured are Keagan Hunter, Troy Teeter, Seth Conrad, Chandler Bendorf, Colton Folkers, Ben Bonacci, Justin Union, Bailey Bannister, McKenzie Cottle, and Melanie Campbell.​​​​​

Thank You From FBLA

As a means to advocate for breast cancer awareness, students and staff purchased t-shirts and bracelets from FBLA during the month of October. The club raised $380 from selling pink t-shirts and bracelets, which will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to help the fight against breast cancer. October 24th was designated as a Pink Out day at school and pink was worn at the last home football and volleyball games in October as well.  Thank you to everyone who bought t-shirts and bracelets!
