Phase 3 of parks trail begins

ALGONA — The third phase of the Algona Recreational Trail is starting after the Algona City Council approved a resolution to receive funding through the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP.)

From sports photojournalist to recreation director:

ALGONA — Throwing curveballs is not just something that occurs in baseball. Life seems to have a way to throw one or two. In the case of Andrew McGuire, this curveball led him back to his hometown of Algona where is he now acting as the city’s recreation director.
Graduating from Bishop Garrigan High School in 2013, McGuire wanted to start his career in a town that was not Algona, only to later find himself desiring to be back in his hometown once again. 

Collaborating to help students succeed: Business Leaders visit Algona Schools

What does it take to provide the best opportunities for students when they leave the safe halls of their high schools? Is there anything for them in their hometown or must they venture off to larger cities for a career?
In an effort to strengthen the local business community while providing for the needs of soon-to-be graduates, 18 individuals gathered in mid-November at Algona High School, beginning to find the answers to these questions.
 

Think twice Before Passing a Stopped School Bus

Transporting nearly 600-700 students in any given day, both morning and night, bus drivers in the Algona Community School District are tasked with the safety of all of those on board. Unfortunately, drivers alone cannot protect the welfare of these students. Those who share the road also have an important role to play, stopping, no matter how hurried they are, when a school bus comes to a stop and the stop-arm is extended.
