It was a beautiful day for Field Day at Fort Calhoun Elementary on Friday, May 4th. Students enjoyed rotating through the different events such as Three Legged Race, Water Dash, and a Relay Race. The day ended with the traditional tug-a-war with the 6th graders and the teacher. This year, the teachers won!

Congratulations to Abigail Nelson who is this year’s Two Rivers Bank Scholarship winner!

The requirements for the Twin Rivers Scholarship were to plan to attend a four-year college or university, have a minimum GPA of 3.25, and an ACT score of 20 or higher. They were looking for someone who has academic achievement, positive citizenship, and leadership in school and community activities. Abi is planning to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University in the fall with an undecided major.

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.​

A group of 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students took a field trip to take in some art. Students observed the Scholastic State Art Exhibition currently on display at the Omaha Public Schools Teacher Administration Center building. The Scholastic State Art Exhibition is comprised of artwork from students all across the state of Nebraska. The group also made a stop at Kaneko in downtown Omaha to view the exhibition Light. The exhibition consisted of visual, educational, and interactive elements.
