Biology Class Dissect Trout

The Biology students teamed up with The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and participated in the Trout in the Classroom project this year.  As a part of the project, Biology students were given fresh trout to dissect as an extension to our curriculum.  They learned about the external and internal features of a trout before the dissection.  Each year, this dissection is the highlight of biology!

Teacher Allie Schleifer Receives NSEA Community Service Award

In addition to her job, she is also currently serving as the Vice President of the FCYSO that facilitates and runs youth sports programs. Serving as Vice President, Allie attends monthly meetings keeping all the different sports organized. As in any organization, if there are no volunteers, most of the tasks fall upon the board.

Even though Allie has her plate full at work and home, she continues to work tirelessly for the youth in Fort Calhoun.
