Photo Essay: New buildings and new classrooms
Brad Ryun teaches his welding class on a whiteboard in one of the new CTE building classrooms. “The new rooms have been quite an adjustment,” Ryun said. “We have a lot of hand tools and equipment we use, so finding a place to store everything has been an adventure. The facilities are really nice and I think over time, this will be a really great learning experience for FHS students.” Mr. Brade Ryun said “The new rooms have been quite an adjustment.

Stars kick their way past Wildcats.

The Cats went 3 and out on their opening possession. A solid punt return setup the Stars with great field position but St. Pauls defense would force another Field goal this time from 35 yards out for Wiens with :03 to play in the First Quarter.

Morning Mash: First look at Colorado; Rhule the salesman
As good as Georgia Tech-Florida State and the rest of week zero felt on Saturday a big Thursday slate made it really feel like college football season. And nothing was better than Colorado State-North Dakota State. The game was pretty much everything I thought it would be. Colorado's elite athleticism. NDSU showing the ability to not only hang but legitimately threaten the Buffs. Travis Hunter being otherworldly good (with a little help from some blind eye officiating). Shedeur Sanders looking every bit a potential first round quarterback while also having to run for his life on half his pass attempts. Inexplicable coaching decisions. Poor clock management by officials. And a "thankfully I watched most of this in a bar with different sound" broadcast from ESPN.
No School On Sept. 3 For Kuemper Catholic Students For Funeral Of Former Student
Kuemper Catholic Schools will be canceling classes for middle and high school students, allowing for peers and staff to attend the funeral of a classmate after a courageous fight against cancer. There will be no school on Tuesday, Sept. 3 for seventh through twelfth grade students, in honor of 14-year-old Bailey Lux who passed away yesterday (Wednesday). The funeral services will be at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday at Holy Spirit Church. There is special seating for members of the current freshman and senior classes at the funeral. Any freshman or senior wishing to sit with amongst peers during the service are asked to be at the church by 9:35 a.m. to be lined up and proceed into the building at 9:40 a.m. A response team with trained professionals, along with counselors and priests, will be available at the school buildings to assist any students, staff or parents needing help to cope. In May, doctors discovered that the low-dose oral chemo treatment Bailey was on was not effective and the cancer continued to spread quickly. Bailey took on the summer chemo free, getting to experience all of her favorite things like attending the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces game to see Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, her favorite former Iowa Hawkeye basketball players again, visiting the Henrey Doorley Zoo in Omaha, Neb. and much more. While Bailey’s fight is now over, she now joins her mother, Renee and is at peace. The Lux family wishes to extend their love and thanks to the community and all who have prayed and supported them over the last two years.
