Calamus-Wheatland Community School District

Thank you to the 3rd and 4th grade girls basketball team for taking part in Fist Bump Friday!

Thank you to everyone who donated to our FBLA shoe drive. The shoes are on their way to micro-entrepreneurs around the world and, as you can see, we received our check which will be used to assist our club in the future.

During our Elementary Warrior Families this month, we are focusing on helping students learn how to handle both winning and losing appropriately during games and activities.

We are encouraging students to:
Show respect by saying “Good game”
Avoid bragging when they win
Stay calm and positive when they lose
Learn from mistakes and try again

Staff will provide games for the day; however, students are welcome to bring in a game to share with their Warrior Family. If they choose to bring a game, they will be responsible for all pieces.

You can support this at home by talking with your child about using kind words, staying in control of emotions, and practicing good sportsmanship during games.


Our goal is to remind students that while trying their best to win is important, it is even more important to treat others with respect and kindness.

3rd graders traveled to Circa 21 today to see Charlotte's Web. They even found a park to take a lunch and recess break! Special thanks to Ricky and Brenda Kay for this fantastic opportunity!#gowarriors

Elementary students stayed after school last Thursday to attend Bingo for a Buck event hosted by 3 FBLA members. They planned and carried out this activity as part of a state leadership competition and will give a presentation detailing the event at the conference on March 29th.

Mrs. Luepker's Accounting class took a break from book work today to review account balances and various transactions using ball pit balls.

Students competed in a casting competition at school. They practiced and then tested their accuracy with flip casting and overhand casting. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners were crowned in each grade leading up to an overall champion, runner up, and 3rd place. Huge shoutout to both Cedar County Conservation and Clinton County Conservation for bringing this competition in along with some other fun games and activities! #gowarriors

Huge shoutout to our Elementary Boosters for our rollerskating unit! Thank you to Skatetime for always providing the skates that allow this to be something our elementary students look forward to year after year!#gowarriors

Things got heated in Mrs. Luepker's Financial Lit class as students played the fast-paced game, Pit, where they tried to corner the market on various commodities. Students traded with each other to try to collect all 9 of their chosen product.
