School Attendance Awareness Proclamation declared Ames Mayor John Haila honored the collective efforts of many partners from various sectors on Sept. 11, 2018, by declaring September “School Attendance Awareness Month,� supporting the importance of attendance related to academic achievement. United Way of Story County (UWSC) is the lead agency for “Story County Reads,� an education collaborative and member of the national Campaign for Grade Level Reading. Story County Reads mobilizes civic, business and community leaders to work with schools, libraries and other organizations with the common goal of ensuring youth can read at grade level by the end of third grade. School attendance is a key area of work along with school readiness and summer learning. The proclamation recognizes that by sixth grade, chronic absence which is missing 18 or more days of school, is a leading indicator of dropping out of school even more than academic performance.
Research has demonstrated that chronic absenteeism in school at an early age can have a long term negative impact on the likelihood a child will graduate from high school. Additionally, the proclamation recognizes that reducing chronic absenteeism involves the community at large including parents, government
agencies, faith leaders, businesses, community non-proďŹ ts and leaders as well as the education sector. “Literacy is the foundation of education and reading proďŹ ciency is the vehicle for our kids to achieve self-sufďŹ ciency later in life. Many things inuence a child’s ability to learn and thrive, including school at-

STORY COUNTY SUN CALL 233-3299 TO ADVERTISE
A major contribution from Dean and Adele Bowden, of Webster City, has kicked off construction for a new outdoor pool at Clover Woods Camp and Retreat Center, near Madri. Construction on the new pool will begin in early September and is slated to be completed later this fall. The new facility will be open for use in the spring of 2019. The pool will be 30 feet by 60 feet and will be located east of the existing pool facility. The scope of the project also includes upgraded bath house facilities.
The old pool will be completely demolished and become a new parking area. “We are grateful to the Bowdens for their generosity and vision in supporting this project,” said Emily Saveraid, executive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “A new pool has been sorely needed for the past several years; we look forward to welcoming campers back to Clover Woods next summer to enjoy this new amenity.” Originally opened as the Iowa 4-H Center in 1952, Clover Woods Camp and Retreat Center annually welcomes 4-H’ers and non-4-H users alike to the facility for camps, retreats or day use opportunities. Clover Woods offers users more than 20 miles of hiking trails, a low ropes course, climbing tower, zip line, sports facilities and
more. In addition, Clover Woods gives users the chance to explore five different eco-systems as well as historical monuments. Other contributors to this project include Prairie Meadows and the Don & Doris and Dennis & Julie Goering families. Clover Woods Camp & Retreat Center is owned by the Iowa 4-H Foundation and offers day and overnight facility use as well as year-round recreation opportunities on 1,000 scenic acres in Boone County. Clover Woods promotes life skill development by providing opportunities for outdoor learning experiences for people of all ages that strengthen their sense of belonging, independence, generosity and mastery.

The playful, familyfriendly production will run for two weekends in Fisher Theater in Ames with special pricing for children’s tickets. Inspired by the life and work of the surrealist painter René Magritte, “This Is Not a Pipe Dream,” by Barry Kornhauser follows a young boy who wants to be an artist. Though his desire is dismissed as “a pipe dream,” he begins a quest into the delightfully absurd magic-realism of Magritte’s famous paintings. Directed by Amanda Petefish-Schrag, assistant professor of theatre at Iowa State University, “This Is Not a Pipe Dream” is a celebration of how art and the imagination help people confront life’s traumas and mysteries. “This show is such great fun to work on,” Petefish-Schrag said. “It combines slapstick comedy, visual humor, and a tremendous sense of play with a real sense of tenderness and curiosity about what it means to
live and love and hurt in this world. “This play is, like Rene Magritte’s art, full of unexpected discoveries. There are these moments that you initially think you understand one way, and then – surprise! – the thing you thought you understood gets fl ipped on its head.” “This Is Not a Pipe Dream” opens at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. with additional evening performances on Sept. 29, October 5 and October 6. Matinee performances will be at 2 p.m. on Sept. 30 and Oct. 7. All performances will be in Fisher Theater in Ames. Tickets are available through the Iowa State Center Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster locations or the Fisher Theater box office prior to performances. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, $11 for students and $5 for youth ages 17 and under.
