sciences, as well as fine arts — St. Pat’s offers a curriculum as mandated by Indiana's Department of Education and approved by the Catholic Schools Office of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.

Founded in 1956 by Father Anthony Letko, St. Pat’s has graduated students into the Walkerton community with a foundation that enables them to succeed in their continued academic careers. Small in size, the school focuses on individual development, academic excellence and leadership and responsibility. Parents play an integral part in St. Patrick School through participation in a variety of volunteer programs. Parents are expected to be part of each child’s learning progress. In addition to the standard curriculum, St. Pat’s offers class in poetry, Spanish, square dancing, and sign language. Students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 participate in an annual school play. Upper class students take part in the annual Civic Oration Contest and National Geographic’s Geography Bee. Students learn about their community through a variety of field trips and through their involvement in several community projects. Registration for the 1992-93 school year will take place Thursday, April 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the school office. For more information call 586-7405 after 12:00 noon.

creditation. Commencement will be on Sunday, June 6, 1993. 2. Report on Financing Options — Jim Merten, City Securities Jim Merten of City Securities, Indianapolis, presented background information to the School Board on the use and benefits of different tpyes of bonds used to structure the new bond issue. Discussions centered on the use of Capital Appreciation Bonds (CAB’s). CAB’s benefit the bond issue by reducing the capitalized interest cost during construction and enables the retirement of more principal in the early years when interest rates are at the lowest. Using CAB’s in structuring the bond issue will save the school corporation $355,622.50 in interest costs over the life of the bond issue. There were additional questions and discussions on the proposed tax rate needed to pay the bond issue. 3. Review Proposed School Board Policies. a.
