On Monday, students at Fort Calhoun Junior Senior High were treated to a day of fun to end the school year. They rotated through activities including a trip to Fort Atkinson and the Washington County Museum, a scavenger hunt, and a movie. They also enjoyed games of Knock-Out and Cornhole. Thank you to everyone who helped organized this fun event.

It was a beautiful day for Field Day at Fort Calhoun Elementary on Friday, May 4th. Students enjoyed rotating through the different events such as Three Legged Race, Water Dash, and a Relay Race. The day ended with the traditional tug-a-war with the 6th graders and the teacher. This year, the teachers won!

The Omaha Chapter of Brigham Young University Alumni has selected Kimberly Pace, as a 2018 “Golden Apple” Award recipient. This student-nominated award is given annually to teachers who are inspiring, caring and academically demanding. Mattie Finch, who nominated Ms. Pace, said in her essay, “She has given me a new look on school and life…I can’t really express the impact that Ms. Pace has made on me and my fellow classmates.” Thank you Kim, we are lucky to have you here in Fort Calhoun.
