<strong>New</strong> school and church sign on<br />
Washington Avenue<br />
Have you seen it? We finally have our new<br />
sign! On September 11th, our new electronic<br />
sign was installed on top of a beautiful brick<br />
structure, which was don<strong>at</strong>ed by Winter Masonry.<br />
It is loc<strong>at</strong>ed in front of the school on<br />
Washington Avenue.<br />
Almost three years ago, the school advisory<br />
council came to a consensus th<strong>at</strong> we could<br />
utilize a sign to help market our school and to<br />
help make the community aware of our presence.<br />
Plus, it let’s everyone know of events or<br />
changes which take place <strong>at</strong> the school and<br />
parish.<br />
With the help of the Knights of Columbus,<br />
Spring Interlude, and PTO, we were able to<br />
raise the needed funds, which totaled over<br />
$26,000. We also received generous don<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
from David and Gina Steffl, Frank and Barb<br />
Foltz, the l<strong>at</strong>e Jim Walz, alumni, Margaret<br />
Hemauer, Juanita Carlisle, and others.<br />
This structure will be a life-long school/<br />
parish landmark and we thank and bless everyone<br />
who has made it a reality!<br />

Guardian<br />
Community<br />
<strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> <strong>School</strong> has been design<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
a Ground W<strong>at</strong>er Guardian<br />
Community by the Ground W<strong>at</strong>er<br />
Guardian Found<strong>at</strong>ion. This title has been awarded due<br />
to the successful particip<strong>at</strong>ion in the W<strong>at</strong>er Festival.<br />
For over twelve years the 4th grade students have<br />
teamed up with professional mentors from the community<br />
to research specific topics concerned with the protection<br />
of ground w<strong>at</strong>er and the environment. The students<br />
become the teachers by presenting their research<br />
to classm<strong>at</strong>es, parents, and the public. The goal is to<br />
instill in each student a lifelong awareness and concern<br />
for protecting our environment, particularly the ground<br />
w<strong>at</strong>er. Present<strong>at</strong>ion is always held in May <strong>at</strong> HRS.<br />
