All Veterans and community members in attendance were served a lunch prepared by our CW nutrition staff of pork loin (provided by the Jeff and Deb Hansen Foundation), party mashed potatoes, peas/carrots mix and dessert. Thank you to our partner First Trust and Savings Bank and everyone involved for making this Veterans Day program so enjoyable. #gocalwheat #gowarriors

5th & 6th grade students participated in a mock election! On Monday, they researched the candidates and then received ID cards to show before signing in and casting their votes on Tues. They had a great time learning about the voting process and experiencing it firsthand! 🇺🇲
The bond referendum for Calamus-Wheatland Community School District fell short of receiving the 60% voter approval that was necessary to pass.
As a result, we will not move ahead with the proposed improvements at our elementary school and high school.
While we're disappointed to have fallen just short of the needed 60% approval, we are encouraged by how close we came, with 59% approval. Moving forward, we will regroup and work to ensure our communities and schools continue to collaborate, improve, and grow for future generations of Warriors.
District leaders and board members will continue seeking ways to address our facility needs. We hope to identify a solution that our community can support in the near future.
In the meantime, thank you for considering the proposed bond referendum on November 5.
Macailah Jacobsen did a job shadow with a Naturalist at Hurtsville Interpretive Center. A job shadow allows students to explore a career field of their interest. Job shadow applications were sent to juniors and seniors and fall placements are being worked on. If your student is interested, please encourage them to check their email for the Spring job shadow applications coming later this school year.
