Care Packages Sent to Troops

Fort Calhoun Elementary Student Council Members sent care packages to troops overseas. The packages included snacks, bubble gum, and mints. They also added holiday cards that students in the school made. They were so grateful this year for monetary donations from the VFW, the Jaycees and the Knights of Columbus here in Fort Calhoun which made this possible. Such a great community we live in. Student Council Members are as follows.

4th Graders

Clara Godfrey, Kellen Robinson, Danny Powel, and Ella Bouwman.

5th Graders

Stella Wilmes, Jovi Greiner, Moria Doyle, Lyla Pearson, Macie Collins, and Emily Barta.

Books and Buzz Cuts at Fort Calhoun Elementary

The kids read a total of 161,850 minutes outside school hours during the six week period of our Books and Buzz Cuts reading incentive program. Principal Drew Wagner and 6th grade teacher Todd Teeter agreed to let kids give them buzz cuts and counselor Marie Adams agreed to let them cut 5-6 inches off her hair if they reached their reading goals. Miss Hall’s kindergarteners won the competition. The 9 kids who read the most and earned the opportunity to cut hair were Alisa Taylor, Noah Grove, Geno Roberts, Sammie Ladwig, Cami Christensen, Gerald Taylor, Bode Welchert, Anna Taylor and Emma Rodriquez Weiss.
