Some very young new faces can be seen on the campus of St. Edmond Catholic School this year.
That’s because the Fort Dodge school’s preschool program for 3-year-olds debuted at the start of the 2022-2023 academic year.
The demand for the program was strong. School leaders were planning on two sections of 3-year-old preschool. But scheduling two sections left a waiting list of children, so a third section was added.
Also new on the campus for this school year is the Rev. Ross Caniglia, who is the chaplain for the roughly 600 students, the faculty and the staff.
In 2022-2023, St. Edmond is continuing with the Virtues in Practice religious curriculum.
“My hope this year is to instill our love of God and our virtues,” said Tabitha Acree, the elementary and middle school principal. “We’re always trying to develop Christian leaders and Christian disciples to continue to strengthen the whole person.”
