St. Mary of the Assumption School students participated in the Van Wert County Apple Festival art contest and the Mile Fun Run October 17 and 18.  Art students created three different art types for the show: grades 1-3 entered “In the Tall, Tall Grass” mixed media collages and ceramic turtles, grades 4-6 entered cast concrete leaves and Autumn tree drawings.

St Mary’s students who participated in the Mile Fun Run won first and second place in the girls’ 8 and under, first and third in the boys’ 8 and under, and second place in the girls’ 9 and 10 year olds.
