This week, students at Calhoun Elementary heard from ATS The Bridge, an antidrug nonprofit organization, about its new DROP Initiative, which stands for “Drugs Ruin Our Purpose.” The initiative emphasizes that everyone has a purpose while educating students about addiction and the dangers associated with e-cigarettes, nicotine, and THC. We are thankful for organizations like ATS The Bridge that are helping educate, empower, and encourage our students to make healthy choices and protect their futures. 💙. #atsthebridge

When 6th graders are reading The Lightning Thief and read, "On the table next to me was a tall drink. It looked like iced apple juice, with a green straw and a paper parasol stuck through a maraschino cherry," and learn that the drink actually tastes like blue chocolate chip cookies, your teacher has to have a little snack time! We are looking forward to a great week of learning during the last full week of August!
Thank you to Calhoun’s Local Market for allowing Calhoun Basketball to host a car wash there today!
