Congrats to Liz King and the Assumption Knight Players on their performances of Lend Me a Tenor, our Volleyball team who makes their second straight trip to state, the Cross Country team that took 3rd at state and the Football team who capped off another successful season! Thanks to all of our seniors for their service to the Assumption family by putting on another wonderful Spaghetti Supper.
Another congrats to Emily Coryn for all 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 learn about the Family Tuition Plan. It certainly seemed like everyone I talked to
was there not because they were still trying to make a decision, but because
they had already decided to attend AHS.
We had a great showing at Assumption for the meeting with
the Iowa Catholic Conference on the proposal for Educational Savings Accounts -
final count was right around 60 people. With other Diocese in the state having
already held a couple of meetings of their own, it was great to hold this
information meeting here in Davenport.
After hearing from the Catholic lobbyists on Wednesday, I
had the opportunity to hear from the public school lobbyists on Thursday at the
AEA. As always, allowable growth will be an issue for them, along with start
date and the teacher compensation system. I was happy to hear that there would
be a major push to focus some lobbying efforts on ways to provide better mental
health, bullying prevention, and suicide prevention in schools. I never
understood why they spend so much time talking about start date when there are
other valuable education issue to discuss.
Finally we will have our first session of North Scott Rotary
today. Should be exciting!
Have a great weekend!
Andy
