Calhoun 3rd graders enjoyed the Health Expo held at McMinn Bicentennial Park. Huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers and organizations that made this such a special day!
We are learning about energy in our Science unit. Today, 4th grade conducted an experiment where they were able to observe how potential energy (an object sitting still) can quickly turn into a burst of kinetic energy (movement) when pressure is built up inside a small tube. We had so much fun watching our rockets fly high!
ATS The Bridge presented Timbi Talks to students today. Timbi is the drug prevention program being used at Calhoun.
Reminder: Health screening permission forms are due tomorrow. Please fill the form out completely and return to your child's teacher.
Friday is the deadline for Pumpkin Painting registration and fall picture orders.
Thank you to Jared Waldrop from ATS The Bridge for talking to Calhoun students today about the dangers of drug use/abuse and the importance of making good choices.
