Heartland of America Band Performs

On Tuesday, Fort Calhoun Junior and Senior High Schools were honored to get a concert from U.S. AirForce’s Heartland of America Band. Teachers and students alike were thrilled with the performance. Many came in not knowing what to expect and were surprise that it was a rock band. It was a fun break in the day.

Happy Birthday Nebraska

Fort Calhoun Elementary students celebrated Nebraska’s 150 birthday by dressing up as Pioneers, Cowboys and Native Americans. To quote Ben Sass, “Happy Birthday, Nebraska! May the legacy of the homesteaders, caretakers of the land, statesmen, and volunteers guide you forever.”
