The Fort Calhoun High School Health students gained first-hand experience in making informed decisions when selecting grocery items. Their record of nutritional facts was utilized back in the classroom during their Nutrition Unit of study. They recorded facts on things like fat, calories, and sodium content. Tilten Nottleman and Bella Irvine reported that it was nice getting out of the classroom and being active while getting first-hand experience learning how to read nutrition labels.

The students in Ali Romans’ 5th-grade class and Carly McElhose’s 1st-grade class were top readers in our March Madness Spring reading incentive program so they got a huge treat on Friday, April 26th. First, they were treated to a pizza party and then they got to shoot hoops with Creighton Basketball players, Connor Cashaw, Damien Jefferson and Jett Canfield. What an awesome reward. It was evident from smiles all around that the time spent made a lasting impression on both the future Pioneers and the current Bluejays. Great job readers!
