Calhoun 2nd graders enjoyed a visit on the Let's Read 20 Bus today. This colorful bus is a mobile library provided by Let's Read 20 Program and McMinn County Education Foundation! Remember that there is a little library located at the front entrance of our school where anyone may pick up free books to read anytime!
Bus 45 is having mechanical issues. A sub bus is on the way. Expect students to be dropped off later than normal.

This Friday!
Several Calhoun students were chosen to participate in the Trail of Tears Association’s signage dedication program and dinner at the Hiwassee Meadowlands Park yesterday. The trail has been officially mapped out for our area, and markers will be installed detailing the route in McMinn and Monroe Counties. Six students were invited to attend with three eighth graders concluding the meeting and representing their generation of Calhoun residents with a speech. In addition, Tommy Wildcat played his Native American flute, and guests enjoyed three sisters stew, cornbread, slaw, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.
Calhoun School is hiring a cafeteria monitor. Please contact Principal Jon Franks if interested.
