Dear Friend of the 10 th Annual Spring Interlude,<br />
On behalf of <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Community</strong> and the Spring Interlude committee, I would like to<br />
thank you for donating to the Spring Interlude Event on Friday, April 29, 2011. Your support helped<br />
us earn over $48,000 to provide funds for the music and art programs.<br />
Spring Interlude was a terrific success. The newly remodeled Holiday Inn was bursting with the<br />
happiness and energy of 220 guests. The event was festive with professional décor by Kathy Kath’s<br />
brother, Robert Kramer, “The Life of the Party”, from St. Paul. He has created the environment for<br />
ten years. Everyone in attendance had the opportunity to bid on some fun raffles and unique packages.<br />
The show, “REWIND”, turned up some exceptional surprises. <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> Alumna, Miss Minnesota,<br />
Kathryn Knuttila, and former Miss Minnesota, Kari Knuttila amazed the audience with their talent<br />
when they played a spirited medley of pieces on gleaming, black twin grand pianos. We had past<br />
guests from Dancing with the Stars, Friday Night Live and Spring-time in Paris. Finally, the evening<br />
was topped off with music and dancing by the ever-popular Tim Eggebraaten.<br />
Thank you for your support of the music and art programs at <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Community</strong>. We<br />
are truly blessed to have such kind and giving friends who support our programs.<br />
With warmest blessings,<br />
Terri Paskey<br />

Providing a Quality Education for Each Child<br />
<strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School is committed to helping all students reach their full potential in a nurturing and safe school. We put that<br />
commitment into practice by earning accreditation from the Minnesota Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (MNSAA).<br />
What does this mean to you It means you can rest assured that your students are receiving a quality education. It means that:<br />
Students are taught by qualified teachers;<br />
The curriculum is rigorous and integrated with best professional practices;<br />
Our school complies with State of Minnesota guidelines for safety and well-being; and<br />
Oversight is provided by a concerned governing body.<br />
It means that the quality of our educational program is nationally recognized.<br />
It means that we go beyond state requirements and hold ourselves accountable for meeting nationally recognized standards of<br />
excellence. <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School has been accredited by MNSAA for the eligibility period of 2009 to 2016.<br />
Update of MNSAA Goals<br />
Objective 1: <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School will have plans that allow teachers time to learn about new technology to enhance the education of our<br />
students. Each year the budget process includes funds to cover the resources needed to belong to the INFOCON consortium to<br />
gain new technology and training for our teachers. Teachers are signed up to attend the Best Practices Work-shop on Technology<br />
at Sacred Heart School in East Grand Forks in August of 2011.<br />
Objective. 2: <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School will have a plan to investigate meeting the need for support staff to direct the unique learning needs of<br />
our students. This objective has been researched and <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> has become part of the District 22 Targeted Service sites. Mrs.<br />
Burnside our third grade teacher has been hired through the Dist. 22 process to hold targeted services for students at our school.<br />
We completed half a school year with this service in place and have heard positive comments from parents and students who have<br />
sought this program. We plan to hold a three week summer program in August prior to the start of the next school year.<br />
Objective 3: <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School will research the availability of other tests to better assess the strengths and weaknesses of our students.<br />
This objective has not yet been addressed and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills in currently used.<br />
Objective 4: <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Rosary</strong> School will develop a plan to obtain and retain students to our school program. Strategy 5 of this objective<br />
was to study the feasibility of adding an electronic sign on Washington Avenue to display school and parish information to the<br />
community of Detroit Lakes. The school board has researched this possibility and has presented some possibilities to the whole<br />
parish family. It has been decided to include this item on the parish wish list. This will allow donors who are interested in supporting<br />
this project to do so. We encourage our stakeholders to contact the school office to give us input on our progress and<br />
help us vision for the future.<br />
Iowa Testing Results for 2010-2011<br />
