Yesterday the fourth grade classes took a trip
to Lincoln. They began in the State Capital.
There they learned how our legistlature and courts work.
Our State Senator Senator, Jim Smith, spoke with the students.
That was great since one of the expectations for parishioners
at St. Columbkille is to "Once a year engage your
political leaders in concerns for justice."
Outside was the Education Freedom Rally for LB 50.
This tax credit bill would help eligible parents pay private
school tuition. Archbishop Lucas spoke about it.
After their visit to the capital, students visited Morrill
Hall at the University of Nebraska State Museum.
They learned about fossils in Elephant Hall ...
... and they were able to get involved in some exhibits.
It was a very busy day in Lincoln.
