This Week at Calhoun Elementary

Grief Camp is a special day designed to support children in grades K–8 who are grieving the death of a significant person in their life. Campers have the opportunity to process their grief, connect with peers their age, express their feelings, and learn healthy ways to cope. Through guided activities, campers are encouraged to share memories of their loved one and begin healing in a safe, supportive environment. We hope everyone in attendance left with hope, love, and understanding that they're not alone. Without the support of numerous organizations, grants, volunteers, and donors, this annual event would not be possible.

Don't forget to dress in RED in support of Heart Health Month. Tomorrow's menu at the Calhoun Cafe:

McMinn County Schools will be closed on Thursday, Feb. 5, due to forecasted black ice and freezing fog. As always, the safety of our students, staff, and families is our priority. Stay safe and warm.

Bus 45 has mechanical issues and is running late this morning.

McMinn County Schools will be open and on a regular schedule Wednesday, Feb. 4. We look forward to seeing everyone back! Here is Calhoun's schedule the REST of this week

Thanks to a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Calhoun's K–6 students enjoyed a live performance by Bright Star Theatre, a nationally touring professional theatre company, on January 20. The interactive program brought the story of Jackie Robinson to life. Students learned that Jackie Robinson—Number 42—was the first Black Major League Baseball player, served in the military during World War II, and explained his role in ending segregation. It was an inspiring and meaningful experience for our students! Thank you to all those making this possible for our students! #allinformcminncountyschools 🌟🎭⚾️
