It truly was a Run to Remember this morning as our elementary runners completed their 26th mile in honor of those who lost their lives 30 years ago in the OKC bombing. A big thank you to the Peters family for making signs of all those Oklahoma lost & providing snacks and drinks for the runners. Our run in OKC got rained out so we made the magic happen here in Calumet this morning. We are so proud of our runners for representing our school in this event!

🍧 The Freshmen are back at it with SNOW CONES! $1.00 each — starting at 2:30 PM tomorrow (Wednesday) and continuing after school! But don’t wait… we’ve got a limited batch of special flavors this time: • Lemon Lime • Cherry • Grape • Tiger’s Blood • Wedding Cake • Cotton Candy

6th grade got to go on their graduation trip today. We enjoyed a day at Top Golf, Raisin' Canes, and some fishing. This is an incredible group of kids who get to graduate from our elementary tomorrow evening. We can't wait to see what they accomplish, but we are sad to see them go.

Calumet would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Devon Energy & AllNations Bank for providing lunch to our teachers and staff members last week for Teacher Appreciation Week. 🌮🍝 Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🧡
