Sometimes learning means trying new foods! Calhoun fifth graders got to try tamales this morning after reading about them in their ELA studies.





Lots of excitement at Calhoun School August 31st! Make plans to attend!


Calhoun has several Minks on the middle school softball team! We’re very proud of these young ladies and wish them the best at tomorrow’s game at Rhea County!


Members of Calhoun’s Relay for Life Team attended the ladies’ luncheon at Allen Memorial today where a speaker shared her family’s experience with the Hope House in Nashville, one service American Cancer Society provides. Thank you for your continued support of Relay for Life!





Picture Day


Tutoring begins Monday, August 21st for registered students. Tutoring busses will not run until August 28th. Tutoring absences next week due to transportation will not be counted.


Great things happening at Calhoun School!
Check out this from 4th Grade:
Our science unit this month deals with forming and testing a hypothesis. Using our STEAM Bin materials, students were tasked with conducting an experiment to construct the best book holder! They had to form a hypothesis, test their structure to see how many books it would hold, and make adjustments as needed. At the end, they had to observe, “did our hypothesis match our results?” Every group approached it in a different and creative way!
We are so proud of our 4th grade Minks! Engineering in their future?! Maybe so!
