You may have noticed some work being done west of the Calamus-Wheatland Elementary School property. The CW Athletic Boosters have dedicated their efforts in planning and advancing a future football field. Their commitment to this project, while carefully listening to our community and ensuring that the development of the land, purchased with generous donations of funding, materials, supplies and labor, imposes no cost on the district, is truly commendable.
The CW Athletic Boosters visionary approach not only meets the current needs of our athletes but also considers future possibilities, such as a track or soccer field, reflecting their profound dedication to enhancing educational and athletic opportunities for our students. Their foresight ensures we are prepared to meet the evolving needs and desires of our community in the years to come.
Their hard work and passion have not gone unnoticed. The impact of their efforts extends far beyond the field, enriching the lives of our students and strengthening the bonds within our community. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a committed group of individuals driving positive change and fostering a supportive environment for our students.
We look forward to the time that the CW Athletic Boosters hand off the property to the school district.
