Heartland of America Band Performs
On Tuesday, Fort Calhoun Junior and Senior High Schools were honored to get a concert from U.S. AirForce’s Heartland of America Band. Teachers and students alike were thrilled with the performance. Many came in not knowing what to expect and were surprise that it was a rock band. It was a fun break in the day.
Happy Birthday Nebraska

¡No te preocupes! Don’t worry! Spanish Club will help wish away your worries!
¡No te preocupes! Don’t worry! Spanish Club will help wish away your worries! Friday, Spanish Club got together to make worry dolls. Worry dolls are small hand-made dolls that come from Guatemala and Mexico. There is a legend that if you have a problem or worry in life, you share it with the doll before going to bed. Tell one worry to each doll, place them beneath your pillow while you sleep and the dolls will take your worries away.

HAL Art Show 2016
Elementary HAL Art Show
The Language Art HAL students had the opportunity to present their art to the school. Each art exhibit had to include a minimum of 4 pieces of art with display cards that explained their logic or reasoning of what they created. The mediums included sculptures, acrylic, watercolor, electronic art, music, pencil, and collages. On each individuals exhibit was a brochure that they created. The brochures included an autobiography, two features artists, and their favorite medium. I am very proud of the effort and hard work that each student put into their project. All of the students from the Elementary were able to come in and critique each art exhibit as well, everyone involved enjoyed the show!
