The second 2009-2010 Saturday Fun and Learning Day sponsored by Heads Up and GEAR UP was held Saturday, January 16th at Calhoun Middle-High School with breakfast served to all participants.

The day had a Christmas in January theme. Children received a McDonald's gift card and candy cane from St. Nick who returned to Calhoun County just for Saturday Fun Day.

There were over 300 people in attendance, with the following parents won $25.00 gift certificates from the Mt. Zion Pit Stop, Stacy Harris, Rebecca Gibson, Logan Jones and Shelly Stevens. Winning a $25.00 Walmart gift card donated by GEAR UP was Becky Frederick.

The postponed Christmas dinner was catered by the
Middle School Athletic Boosters which included turkey,
ham, mashed potatoes, corn, peas, roll and Christmas cakes.

The parents voted on the date and location of the reward trip which will be Kings Island on May 22nd.

The next Saturday Fun and Learning Day will be February 13th. Devena Moore from the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department will be speaking on the DREAM and PACE programs.
