The Elementary School had a canned food drive this month. The Elementary school loves a good competition so classrooms competed to see who could bring the most food. The K-3 winners were Mrs. Szlachetka’s class and the 4-6 grade winners were Mrs. Roman’s class. This year, the food collected will go to the St. John the Baptist food panty and the Washington County Food Bank.
Veterans Honored at Fort Calhoun High School
On Wednesday, 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 Megan Braymen as the MC. The High School Band and Choir both performed several patriotic songs including the Armed Forces Salute. The keynote speaker was Byron Lawson, Air Force. Even though the ceremony was a bit different this year, our gratitude to our Veteran was apparent. Thank you to everyone who helped with the event.
Congratulations Coach Dave Smith
Congratulations Dave Smith on your retirement from many years of coaching Junior High Cross Country.
The Home meet on Thursday was Dave’s last one after coaching for about 38 years. It was a successful meet with both the Boys and Girls Junior High teams finishing in 2nd place. Pictured with him are his current teams plus several former runners who he has coached over the years. Thank you Dave for all you have done for the FORT over the year!
