Help a Science Teacher Out 👩🏻‍🔬 In need of 2 Liter Bottles!

Biology students are about to start their end of the year ecology and we are in need of EMPTY 2 Liter bottles with the lids. If you have any please send them with a student or bring them to the high school (to Mrs. Meschberger).

Our 3rd and 4th Grade Gifted and Talented students competed in online tournaments this year across a variety of subject areas, with their scores measured against teams from across the state. We are incredibly proud to share that the Calumet Chieftains earned the title of State Runner-Up in the ELA division! 🏆🥈 This outstanding achievement reflects their hard work, dedication, and love of learning. Congratulations to these amazing students!

Another MILLION WORDS READ by 6th grader John Luke Freyman! 📚🎉 Here’s what his teacher had to say: “About a month ago, John Luke came to me and told me he had already reached his AR goal. With a few weeks still left before the deadline, I decided to challenge him by increasing it. John Luke asked me to set his goal at 100 points (at the time he had around 45 points). He mapped out a plan for how many pages he would need to read each day to make it happen. This was an extremely challenging goal that required a lot of dedication at home. I honestly couldn’t be more proud of him!” Way to go, John Luke! Not only did you reach your goal of 1,000,000 words, but you also met your goal of 100 AR points! Your hard work and determination paid off! 👏📖

6th Grade ELA wrapped up Book Club today! 📚 Students worked in three groups to read, discuss, analyze, and present their books to the class. A lot of time and effort went into their final projects, and along the way they learned valuable lessons about collaboration, teamwork, and meeting academic expectations when presenting.
