St. Marys 6th graders going to Chicago
Sixth grade students of St. Mary of the Assumption School are planning and working hard to support their planned trip to Chicago, scheduled for April 3-5. Students will work at the K of C fish fry on Fridays and a pancake and sausage breakfast Sunday, February 24.
The students and chaperones will be travelling on AmTrak from Waterloo, Indiana, to Union Station in Chicago. Their itinerary includes tours of the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Chicago Art Institute and visits to the Navy Pier, the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower, and St. Mary’s Church in “Old Town”. The group will navigate between sites via public buses and trains. There will be an opportunity to do some shopping along Michigan Avenue and to taste the local cuisine at area restaurants.
Alisha Terhark, spokesperson for the class, said the 14 students in her class are looking forward to this annual trip and that they are happy for the support of the parish through their participation in the breakfast.
