Elementary Basketball Program Fun For All Involved

The Fort Calhoun girls and boys basketball teams just completed their first Kindergarten-2nd grade basketball league! They had 40 participants that went through three weeks of skills instruction courtesy of the high school basketball teams. The session ended with three weeks of games and a tournament. The teams were coached by high school players that donated their time to benefit our basketball programs!

Veterans Honored at Fort Calhoun High School

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. 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 a song about the American Flag. Walter Paul “Butch” Kirkland III 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.

Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraising Success

As a means to advocate for breast cancer awareness, students and staff purchased bracelets from FBLA during the month of October. The club raised $470 from donations and selling pink bracelets, which will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to help the fight against breast cancer. October 18th was designated as a Pink Out day at school and pink was worn at the last football and home volleyball games in October as well.  Thank you to everyone who donated money and bought bracelets!
