Creative projects were on display Saturday morning at Immaculate Conception Elementary School in Charles City, as the school held its 10th annual Literacy Fair.
“They can be as creative as they want to,” said IC 5th-and-6th-grade teacher Stephani Barry, one of the event’s organizers. “They can showcase their artistic abilities.”
Students who wished to could choose a book and make a project about it, with certain criteria to follow and certain components that had to be included. Any IC student could participate, either solo or with one partner, and Barry said that there were two more projects this year than there were last year.
Each project is judged, students are also judged on interview questions, and students in grades 3-6 are also judged on a writing component. Students also participated in many games and other activities.
“I think it’s really cool that this is the 10th year it’s happened,” Barry said. “It’s because of the support of people in our school that we are able to keep doing this.”
A “Piety in the Park” worship service will be held at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, July 13, in Central Park in Charles City, presented by Trinity United Methodist Church.
The service will be followed by a performance of the band Damascus Road, made up of local musicians, including Trinity Pastor Don Preston.
Attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs to the service and concert.
Members of the group are, from left, Trinity Pastor Don Preston, Rhoda Preston, Rachel Mack, Med Lewis, Rae Asleson, Nancy Western, Lyle Western, Janiece Bergland and Scott Nolte.
