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.

The Freshman homeroom class continues its service to other with our 4th visit to Autumn Pointe this year. This was the first meet up in a while and the pen pals had lots to talk about. We look forward to one more visit before the end of the year to wrap up our great experience.
