Fort Calhoun Elementary celebrated the 100th day on Jan 24th! We had fun with STEM building stations with 100 different objects including plastic cups, popsicle sticks, legos, pipe cleaners, and linking cubes! We made a 100-day snack made 100-day t-shirts. We are 100 days brighter here at Fort Calhoun!
They are at it again! Ten 5th & 6th-grade students have been hard at work making masks from paper mache during the after school art program. The students were able to mold the masks with paper mache, then create their own design for the mask, and finally, use acrylic paint to make their pieces come to life.
Starting in February, the second session for 3rd and 4th-grade students will begin. Mr. High-horse and Mrs. Rutledge will have new and exciting projects to work on. There are a couple more spots available if anyone is still interested!

Abigail Russell and Gina Namuth had a fun opportunity to participate in “Girls in Engineering Day” at UNL last weekend with Mrs. Shields. It was sponsored by UNL and the Lincoln Children’s Museum. It was a day for girls ages 7 to 18 to discover what engineers do. They explored hands-on activities and then had breakout sessions where more in-depth topics were discussed. They also were able to tour the UNL lab that is creating a surgical robot. Abigail Russell said she enjoyed learning about the different kinds of engineers and getting connected with professionals in the field.

As we have the past several years we will be doing a Coaches vs Cancer game when we play at Arlington this year. If you would like to order a T-shirt to support the cause here is a picture of the order form. Your child can pick one of these forms up in the office. Forms are due back to the office by January 9th.
