Day 2 of Camp Calhoun set another record attendance! Campers learned about our state insect, state reptile, transportation with Guest Speaker Josh Monroe from Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, Fall Creek Falls, and the Appalachian Mountains and Trail. We've read, written, calculated, discussed, cut, colored, pasted, drawn, created, and ALL the things! It's been a great day to be a Mink!
Day 1 of Camp Calhoun was a great success with record attendance. Campers studied about Tennessee’s birthday and its significant numbers (1796 & 16).

Today we're saying "See ya later" to the Calhoun Coop! Fourth Grade successfully hatched and loved on a dozen chicks which are going home with Ms. Morrow for the summer. Stay tuned for project expansion with involvement opportunities in the near future!
These kids were AMAZING! Great job by the Cast and Crew of "Fairy Tale Network."
It's the last week of school!
