Summer Improvements
Aquinas Catholic
Both gyms were refinished this summer. The North Gym was also painted. New furnaces were installed in the original part of the building, thanks to Blue Sky. There were a few parking lot additions to the southeast corner. We were blessed to add a 2018 School Bus to our fleet.
St. Mary's Catholic
The lockers at St. Mary's got a new facelift with a fresh coat of paint. The interior floors were
cleaned and waxed.

Whitmore Studies Abroad
Valeria Whitmore completed a two-week seminar in Rome through the University of Notre Dame for college credit in June. More than 60 students applied for this experience. Whitmore was one of 16 that were accepted.

This program focused on the history, culture, and architecture of Rome. Each day they would walk to the historical and/or religious landmark that they would study.
Fiala's Art on Display   
Mary Fiala, will have her artwork on display at the Governor's Residence Exhibition in Lincoln on June 16 through September 8.
Fiala's stained glass mosaic titled, "Nebraska's Gold" won a Golden Key Award at the Scholastic Art Competition during the 2016-17 school year. Only 17 Scholastic Art Award Winners were chosen for this exhibition. Read more an get tour information here.
