On Wednesday, 5 of Cal-Wheat's juniors and seniors took advantage of touring Scott Community College. Students were able to learn about several career pathways offered through SCC. Some of these programs included degrees covered under the Last Dollar Scholarship program, which allows Iowans to earn a college degree for free tuition. In addition, all 3 of EICC's campuses offer a scholarship to Calamus Wheatland students who continue their education at EICC after high school graduation. The highest level of the Connections scholarship allows students to earn half off tuition for their first year of college. If you or your students have any questions about the Last Dollar Scholarship or Connections Scholarship, please email Holly Hansen at hhansen@cal-wheat.net.

Week at a Glance Nov. 13th - Nov. 19th
The City of Calamus informed the district that the street crew will be in Calamus on Monday November 13th. The City goal is to let the normal school traffic go through 2nd St in the morning and then CLOSE through traffic during street improvements. (DETOUR signs will be placed routing you West to 1st St. South on 1st St. Then East to 2nd St to get to the elementary school.) Please plan accordingly.
Thank you to the Clinton County Development Association, Cole Moeller and numerous parents and community members on their help funding and putting together our new Warrior Early Learning Center playgrounds!
