Our school had some very special guests today! To celebrate the Tennessee Department of Education's March Literacy Month celebration, members of the department along with Riley the Raccoon helped students celebrate the joy of reading and the importance of literacy at Calhoun School. Riley and his guests visited kindergarten through second grade classrooms.
Calhoun is one of only 25 schools across the state of Tennessee selected for a Riley visit!

A team from DENSO visited Calhoun School to give our 8th graders a glimpse into the real world of STEM careers! Students participated in hands-on activities that reinforced STEM principles while also learning how important it is to follow instructions carefully and pay attention to detail in the workplace, as well as school. We appreciate the DENSO team for taking the time to invest in our students and show them how classroom learning connects to real-world opportunities.

Calhoun 2nd Grade has been studying the pollinators module and why it’s important to protect butterflies as pollinators. To enhance their studies, teachers were granted the resources to hatch their own butterflies through McMinn County Education Foundation Mini Grants! Today was release day, and the joy of this project was quite evident!
8th grade students recently toured MCHS to become more acquainted with the school layout, the classes provided, and all the various extra curricular activities that are offered. Thank you to everyone involved in planning this awesome event for our students!
