ESports

On Friday, November 21st, Trevor (4th) and Hawthorne (7th) both medaled at State eSports!
 
Our Division 2 Smash Bros. league had 99 competitors this season. 64 qualified for districts and 16 made State, so this was an awesome accomplishment. These two have now medaled at State every year we’ve had an eSports team.
 
Special shout-outs to Chris for volunteering to commentate on the video stream…and to our rowdy “couch mob” cheering us on 🙂
 
Mario Kart season starts in January, vroooom.

Fort Calhoun Elementary Celebrates Kindness Day 2025

To celebrate World Kindness Day on November 12th, our school created a Kindness Chain! Each student received a strip of paper on which they wrote or drew something that they had done for someone else, or something kind that someone had done for them. When everyone finished, we linked all the strips together to build one long paper chain. Every link in the chain represented an act of kindness in our school community. As the chain grew, it showed just how many kind, thoughtful things happened in our school. It’s a great reminder that even small actions can make a big difference!

On Tuesday, November 11th, Fort Calhoun Community Schools honored our Veterans with a Veterans’ Day Ceremony. The event was hosted by our Skills USA students with an introduction by Skills USA member Ali Dill and the Emcee, Macie Collins. The High School Band and Choir performed several songs together, including “God Bless America” and “Brother, My Brother.” Plus, the 4th-grade students performed the patriotic song “Proud of our Veterans”. Dave Francois, a former Army mechanic who served in Vietnam, was our Keynote Speaker. Will Duros finished by playing “Taps” right before the Color Guard retired the colors. Several service members from the Military were in attendance and enjoyed a luncheon prepared by the school kitchen staff and served by the Skills USA students. Thank you to everyone who helped with this event. Once again, Fort Calhoun Schools would like to thank all our Veterans for their service to our country.
