Spencer, IA (KICD)– A small gathering came together outside Sacred Heart School in Spencer on Monday to recognize the students and staff for their role in environmental education.
Clay County Conservation Naturalist Brianne Blom says the Sylvan Runkel Award was originally given to Spencer Sacred Heart in 2019, but the pandemic kept the actual recognition from happening until this week.
Principal Amanda Woodall tells us one of the main projects Sacred Heart is taking part in is having a colony of bees housed on school grounds from funding that was secured by former Sacred Heart cook Kay Rose.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - On Friday, people across the country and commonwealth will take time to pause and remember the 32 victims of the Virginia Tech mass shooting.
It s been 14 years since that fateful day when a gunman opened fire in Norris Hall, but the commitment to commemorate is stronger than ever. April 16, 2007 is forever a part of Virginia Tech, said Mark Owczaraki, University Spokesperson. When tragedy falls upon the community, coming together and supporting one another is essential. That was one of the critical, critical lessons that we learned and experienced 14 years ago.
