Huge "thank you" to MCEF and Capstar Bank for their contribution to our Comfort Closet at Calhoun School! Pictured are Ginger Robinson and Kathy Daugherty with MCEF and Jeff Cunningham with Capstar Bank along with Mr. Franks.
While your favorite team might take the field tonight or Saturday, we have team building taking place in first grade!
From Mrs. Mary's Class:
We are building cup towers learning about habits of character (focusing on collaboration today) this week!
4th Graders proudly displayed their scientific models for our Family Night. Great work, Minks!
Calhoun School hosted Family Night where 275 Minks attended! Huge thank you to Creative Discovery Museum for providing our activities funded by TVA. Meetings went well, food was delicious, and activities were educational and fun! We're ready for the next one!
Today we are saying goodbye to a Calhoun legend. Mrs. Rosetta is retiring today. To know her is to love her. We can fill her spot, but we’ll never be able to replace her. If you see her, wish her happy trails with many years of health and happiness. Once a Mink, Always a Mink!
-Mr. Franks

Meet Team PreK!
My name is Chelsie Million, and I am proudly teaching Pre-k at Calhoun! I married my high school sweetheart, and we have a son together. We live on a 64 acre farm (that's more like a zoo) in Englewood. I graduated from Tennessee Wesleyan University with my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and from Arkansas State University with my Masters. This is my 8th year teaching Pre-k but new to this district. I am so excited to be in a new school with all new faculty and staff to meet and of course my new students and families within my class. We will have a wonderful school year!
My name is Robin Walker. I am Calhoun’s PreK Aide. I live on a ridge in a log cabin with my husband of 43 years. We have 1 daughter and 2 sons. All my children attended Calhoun! We are now grandparents to 5 boys and 3 girls. This is my 6th year in pre-k, and I subbed for 7 years before that. I love to cook and ride around in our 1930 model A truck and our 1930 coupe. We attend Cleveland First Baptist and enjoy time with our family.
We would like to thank CapStar Bank and Junior Achievement representative Gena Shirk for coming to conduct a lesson with our fifth graders today!
