FBLA sponsored a Pie in the Face Contest during Homecoming week to raise money for the March of Dimes. Throughout the week students put money into teacher’s containers and also bought tickets for the opportunity to be the person to give the teacher the pie. The teacher who raised the most money was Mr. Christensen and the student picked to give the pie was Riley Mitchell. Thank you to the teachers who participated and the students who donated money. Fifty dollars will be donated towards the March of Dimes.

“I teach , what’s your super power?” Third and Fourth grade teachers at Fort Calhoun Elementary prepared to get students excited for a new school year. The children were each given a card taped to their desks that read “I LEARN, what is your super power. ” The teachers explained that each of them has the power to learn, to work hard, to be responsible, to be kind. Those are all important powers that they are going to build on this year. Then, each student created their own masks and capes to wear.
