Dear Parents,
Yesterday we attended the Iowa Education Celebration 2016 at the Iowa Energy Game. It was a wonderful day of learning and fun. It was a joy to see the smiles on the kids’ faces as they watched the basketball game and halftime show. We received multiple compliments from people that worked at the Arena as well as other schools about how well our students behaved. A THANKS that goes to our teachers and to you, our parents, for teaching our students to always be on their best behavior. Field trips like that don’t happen very often but when they do they are memorable for our kids. I am sure I will hear about how fun this trip was for a long time.
Don’t Forget!

Just as a reminder, because many families may be interested, Catholic Youth Camp opens up camp registration this Sunday, January 31st at noon. Though it is a long way off from summer, they open up early to allow families to coordinate summer vacations, sports, etc. All of the information you need can be found at STMcenter.com. If you want to contact them to ask any questions, they will be in their office this Sunday during registration launch. The CYC program is a great way for youth to combine faith and fun. Activities include horses, canoeing, archery, zip lining, rock climbing in addition to daily Mass and reconciliation and much more. All grades 3rd through 12 are invited to attend. And for those that are 16 or older, you are invited to be a camp counselor as well. Again, see STMcenter.com for more information.
