It was a great year for the food drive at Fort Calhoun Elementary. The event was organized by the student council and all the items collected were donated to the food pantry at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Fort Calhoun. The winning classroom was Mrs. Hodson’s 3rd-grade class and they won an ice cream party! The Student Council Members had fun setting the can up to look like a replica of the businesses in Fort Calhoun and then delivered them to the church. Thank you to all the families who donated cans this year! As you can see from the pictures, it was a huge success.
On Friday, November 11th, 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 Skills USA President Wyatt Appel and the MC Sophia Thomas. The High School Band and Choir both performed several patriotic songs including the Armed Forces Salute and “We Honor You”. Plus, the 4th-grade students performed the patriotic song “On Veteran’s Day”. The keynote speaker was Fort Calhoun Alumni, Col. Janel Nelson. Students enjoyed a military trivia contest by Col. Nelson. AJ Duros finished by playing “Taps” right before the Color Guard retired the colors. Several service members from the Military were in attendance and enjoyed a luncheon prepared by the school kitchen staff and served by the Skills USA students. Thank you to everyone who helped with this event. Once again, Fort Calhoun Schools would like to thank all our Veterans for their service to our country.

The Seventh Graders sent 17 Military Care packages to conclude their Seminar Class.
They began the Community Service project with a guest speaker. Coach Thomas spoke with them about what it’s like to be deployed, what it means to those serving to receive a package, and what items to include in the boxes. Students donated items and the Knights of Columbus donated funds to purchase the rest of the supplies. Finally, on the last day of class, students gathered together to stuff boxes with all the goodies.
Students, Kameron Pringle and Noah Wolfe with Special Education Director, Ashley Dougherty had a great day at “Games on the Green” with other students from Arlington and Bennington. This was a great event where students played different events such as bocci ball, noodle toss, softball throw, and a giant game of freeze tag. Thank you to Bennington for hosting this event.
