FSHS Wrestlers Fundraiser For Program Needs: Taco Tico Meals

Leave a comment
Fort Scott High School Wrestling student-athlete representatives attended the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce Coffee on Oct. 3 to tell the community of the fundraiser. From left: Jenna Graham, Coby Burchett, Hannah Vann, and  Mersadie Roof listen as  Coach Alvin Metcalf tells about the fundraiser.

Fort Scott High School has a wrestling program for both boys and girls, with 50 students involved in the program.

Alvin Metcalf is the coach, assistant coaches are Alvin Metcalf Sr., Dakota Hall, and Kathi Hall.

Funds are needed for the program for equipment and gear,  and also for team expenses for the year while competing in other locations, for example, hotel stays, food, etc.

The students and coaches have chosen a Taco Tico Fundraiser.

“It allows the community to get a nostalgic meal that the town of Fort Scott loves,” Coach Metcalf said. “Taco Tico was a staple for anyone who lived in Fort Scott in the 1990s and 2000s especially if you were in high school at that time. It’s something different that people like.”

The wrestlers and their parents prepare the food.

The food orders will be picked up at the high school on October 19 in the Fort Scott High School Commons Area.

Orders are due by 5 p.m. Oct. 12.

Pre-orders can be placed with any wrestling athlete or order sheets picked up at the Butcher Block Shop on National Avenue or 5-Corners Convenience Store at 12th Street at 69 Hwy.

Orders can be dropped off at the Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office, 293 E. 20th Street from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

To order online go to the Fort Scott High School Wrestling page on Facebook.

On the menu are tacos, burritos, sanchos and taco burgers. People may eat in the commons area if so desired.

There will be limited quantities available with pre-ordering.

For more information contact Metcalf at 620.224.8468 or

Lesley Harris at 620.215.5330.

“It’s always the goal of homecoming to have many alumni and community members attend in support of the current generation of Eagles,” Sutterby said. ” StuCo voted as a group to make an effort to specifically invite all of our past football homecoming royalty this year. We were super excited to learn that our very first homecoming queen from 1957 is planning to attend.”

“Please gather at the football stadium by 6:00 p.m.,” she said.  “We will have a short ceremony to honor our past UHS Royalty right before we crown the new 2019 Homecoming King and Queen. The history of UHS Fall Royalty dates back to 1957 and we would like to have as many of the 124 previous winners as possible attend.”

If you are someone who hasn’t played in years, you can still come! It will come back to you, and the UHS Band students will be sitting alongside you, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost.”

St. Martin’s Academy Begins Year in New Facility

Third row: Robert McElwee, chaplain; Sebastian Macik, chef; Giorgio Navarin, housefather. Not pictured are Joshua Mincio, housefather and Dan Kerr, president of St. Martin’s Academy.

Phase I of a multi-year building project, Theokotos Hall, is completed at St. Martin’s Academy school and opened in September 2019 to 29 students.

The  Catholic boys boarding school started in 2018 and was housed temporarily in a large Victorian home on National Avenue in Fort Scott.

The completed Theotokos Hall contains dormitories in the basement; an office, kitchen and dining hall on the first floor; and classrooms and the chapel in its loft, according to the school’s recent newsletter.

The dining room of Theokotos Hall also doubles as classroom space. The view is from the loft looking down. A student sweeps the floor after lunch was served on Monday afternoon.

Freshman through junior class young men are enrolled this year, the school started last year with freshmen and sophomores.

Currently, 10 of those students are spending a trimester in Europe and the other 19 are receiving liberal arts lessons in literature, history, math, science, religion, Latin and also music-both folk and sacred, in Theokotos Hall on Indian Road, southwest of Fort Scott.

The 11th-grade students are now three weeks into their 10-week study abroad program in Europe.

“Highlights thus far include Le Louvre in Paris, venerating the bones of St. Martin in Tours, and crawling amongst the mortar scarred landscape above Pointe du Hoc at Normandy Beach,” according to the school newsletter.  The school was hosted by Chavagne International School who organized a  trip to  Puy du Fou, an authentically Catholic and medieval theme park in the Vendee.

The students and a housefather, Josh Mincio, are stationed at the Abbey of Fontgombault in central France, a  Benedictine monastery.  The next leg of the journey is a  future pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and then to Rome.

The ninth-grade students spent several days in the Wind River Mountain Range, Wyoming.

“Operating at a base altitude of 10,000 ft, the boys logged over 20 miles of hiking through a rough and rugged backcountry, carrying their own provisions on their back and preparing their own meals,” according to the school newsletter.

The next phase of construction at the school is building three bunkhouses, housing 20 students each.

Currently, the students have bunk beds in the lower level of Theokotos Hall. Two adults, called house fathers, are housed at the building 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The academic building, including a formal library, is next, followed by the construction of the stone chapel which will be the final phase, Patrick Whelan, the headmaster at the school, said.

All are hoped to be completed in five years, Whelan said.

Dear Friends of St. Martin’s,

Our second year of operations is now underway with 29 young men from all over the country.  In addition to new students our faculty has been growing and I’m pleased to say that the school is as healthy as ever.  Our new building, Theotokos Hall is both beautiful and functional; the farm is bursting with life and benefiting from the attention of the young men who work on it each day; and our classes are in session both here in Kansas and in France where our juniors are travelling for their Trimester Abroad.

In the coming months we will have a flurry of activities here on our campus and around the country.  We are both delivering and hosting lectures, readings, recitals, and fundraising events as we seek pledges to begin construction on the first of our “Bunkhouse” dormitories.  Stay tuned for the details and if you are interested in assisting us by hosting an event or spreading the word, please be in touch.  It would be difficult to overstate how much we need your support as we embark on the next phase of campus construction.  Please join us in taking a stand for the education of young men.

Saint Martin, pray for us!

Duc in Altum,
Daniel Kerr, President
Patrick Whalen, Headmaster

Theotokos Hall

After over a year of construction, our first building, the hearth and home of the Academy, is complete.  Deo Gratias.  Theotokos Hall contains dormitories in the basement, an office, kitchen and dining hall on the first floor, and classrooms and the chapel in its loft.  The building is functioning beautifully and we are grateful to the contractors and benefactors who helped us to erect this noble hall.

The Hall of Fire in Rivendell represents the place where tradition is passed on through story, where meaning is revealed, where language expresses itself in the making and interpretation of worlds.  The ambience of fire, of a friendly hearth where all strangers are made welcome and find consolation, speaks of a place where humanity can take root and flourish, a true home – the “Last Homely House.”  Here prose is subordinate to poetry, and poetry to song.  – Stratford Caldecott, Beauty in the Word

Freshmen in Wyoming

Led by Cor Expeditions and our own intrepid duo of Mr. Ryan Bauer and Mr. Joshua Gieger, the 9th graders began their careers at St. Martin’s Academy on a proper adventure – spending several days in the Wind River mountain range of Wyoming.  Operating at a base altitude of 10,000 ft, the boys logged over 20 miles of hiking through a rough and rugged backcountry, carrying their own provisions on their back and preparing their own meals.

Cor Expeditions, an offshoot of Wyoming Catholic College, provided exceptional programming throughout, including reflections on beauty, wonder and God’s presence in the book of Creation.

Les Garcons en France

The 11th graders are now nearly 3 weeks into their 10-week Study Abroad program in Europe and, to quote Israel Meyers, “it has been a glorious trip” thus far.  Highlights thus far include many hours in le Louvre in Paris, venerating the bones of St. Martin in Tours, and crawling amongst the mortar scarred landscape above Pointe du Hoc at Normandy Beach.  Many thanks to our friends at Chavagne International School for hosting us and organizing our trip to the legendary Puy du Fou, an authentically Catholic and medieval theme park in the Vendee.

Now stationed at the Abbey of Fontgombault in central France, the boys are settling into to stable rhythm of ora et labora in the Benedictine life.  This period of retreat serves as a wonderful counterpoint to the  complex movements of their previous weeks on the road and their future pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
See pictures from the trip here!

Saint Martin, Saint Benedict and Saint James, pray for us!

Back to school

Whether conducting field observations, singing at Mass, measuring and cutting lumber, or enacting (in earnest) the hand to hand combat in Robin Hood, class at St. Martin’s Academy is back in session.  This is the poetic mode of education where we seek to put a little blood back into the experience of learning which has sadly become, in many cases, an exercise in enervation. We’re proud to be challenging and changing the norms in education for young men.

Down on the Farm

St. Martin’s Farms is bustling with new life.  5 healthy, newborn calves have arrived in the last 3 weeks and we welcomed 50 baby broiler chicks just yesterday.  Current head-count: 16 cows, 19 hogs, 47 sheep, 20 rabbits, 78 laying hens, 4 roosters, 50 broiler chicks, 6 geese and 1 absurdly large Tom turkey.  And growing daily.

Above: Sophomore Joseph Klassen shows proper technique for carrying one of our newborn American Milking Devon calves.

October 26th – Faculty Lecture

Please join us October 26th in Theotokos Hall for our first Faculty Lecture of the 2019-2020 Academic Year.  St. Martin’s President Daniel Kerr will be giving an apologia “for the birds” in discussing his passion for ornithology and how birding is particularly well suited to our pedagogical commitments at St. Martin’s.

RSVP by Oct. 18th to Secretary Danielle Bauer at [email protected]

Above: Mr. Kerr’s Natural History class gathers in Gunn Park for some peak migratory birding last Spring.

Join the Cause!

St. Martin’s is changing the landscape in secondary education and disrupting an ineffective and unimaginative status quo.  Please consider giving generously to our Raise the Rafters Campaign with a one-time gift or pledge.  No gift is too small (or too large!) and will be stewarded carefully as we build a campus for generations to come.

After spending several weeks with him over the summer, we have been able to see the fruits of our son’s experience at St. Martin’s—from his willing and take-charge attitude in helping around the house, to his patience with his siblings (setting a good example by choosing to take the high road when sibling rivalry tiffs come up), to his determined attitude in completing difficult outdoor projects, to his dedication in continuing to study and prepare academically over the summer. Truly, the list could go on and on.

St. Martin’s was an answer to our prayers.
