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.”

¡No te preocupes! Don’t worry! Spanish Club will help wish away your worries!

¡No te preocupes! Don’t worry! Spanish Club will help wish away your worries! Friday, Spanish Club got together to make worry dolls. Worry dolls are small hand-made dolls that come from Guatemala and Mexico. There is a legend that if you have a problem or worry in life, you share it with the doll before going to bed. Tell one worry to each doll, place them beneath your pillow while you sleep and the dolls will take your worries away.
