Congrats to Leslie LaCorte and the Assumption Knight Players on
their wonderful performance this past weekend, and break a leg as they head to
UNI to perform The Pitman Painters at
Iowa Thespian Festival!
Our ad hoc facilities committee held their final meeting Monday
night, and we are working to put together a summary report. The committee’s recommendation
committee will be presented at next Board meeting on the 19th of
November.
Tuesday brought an in-service for our teaching staff. Bridget did
a nice job of framing the Career Development Plan, which is required by the State
of Iowa for all of our teachers. This
was followed by a technology in-service on use of our electronic
whiteboards. I then spent the afternoon
at All Saints presenting on technology resources to use in their
classrooms. If you are interested in

Congrats to Emily Coryn on her hard work putting together another
great Information Knight. It is always wonderful
to have our grade school students visit Assumption. This night provides a tremendous opportunity
for students and parents to learn about all of the great things Assumption has
to offer, while getting a look inside the school and having the opportunity to
hear about the Family Tuition Plan.
We had our
Scott County Administrator meeting on Thursday morning. Items discussed included: Iowa Core Math, 8th grade career
fair, STEM conference for teachers at St. Ambrose, tuition for the upcoming
school year, Catholic Schools Week mass, and bandwidth changes for the upcoming
school year.
I attended our first round game at
state volleyball on Thursday. Congrats
to these talented young women on their accomplishments this season. I also attended North Scott Rotary on Friday
We
received some great news on Friday! Some
of you may remember me mentioning several months ago that I was preparing a
grant for the Scott County Regional Authority.
Our SCRA grant
request was for funding for improvements in the band and choir area. These
improvements included:
1. Install sound
paneling in both band and choir rooms to eliminate the “echo chamber” effect.
2. Install a
sound system in the band room which allows for the recording and playback of
performances.
I am pleased to announce that we
have received a grant from SCRA to help with these projects. This should be a great enhancement to our
band and choir facilities.
Have a great weekend!
Andy
