🚒🔥 Fire Safety at Calamus-Wheatland Elementary! 🔥🚒

A huge thank-you to the Calamus Fire Department, Wheatland Fire Department, Wheatland Ambulance and Officer Eversoll for taking time out of your day to teach our students the importance of fire safety! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge and helping our students learn how to stay safe.

A special shout-out to Mr. and Mrs. Oldsen for organizing this event and bringing the smokehouse for our students to experience! We are so grateful for the time, effort, and community support that made this learning opportunity possible.

Thank you for helping keep our Warriors safe! ❤️💙 #WarriorPride #FireSafety

On Wednesday, three 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 Cal-Wheat 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. #gowarriors

Student in grades 1st through 6th grade will run the mile this week during their PE class. Please help remind your son/daughter to wear tennis shoes for their run.
