Saintes Softball Back at SA![]() Despite earlier rumors, the Saintes will play their home softball games on their field on the hill at Saint Albert this season! We have worked out a solution with our liability insurance provider and general contractor to safely conduct our softball schedule on our home field this year during our ongoing construction. Access to the field will be limited to the staff parking area and gravel access lane behind the school. Only construction personnel are allowed beyond the construction zone gates or fencing; therefore, no homerun or foul balls may be retrieved by fans or team members. Construction UpdateThe State of Iowa has conducted its test for asbestos-containing materials on the exterior of the Moriarty Center. We expect to receive the results from the test, and the approval to begin the demolition of the building, later this week. Here are some additional photos from the construction site.
Saint Albert is in need of your Mall of the Bluffs and/or Madison Avenue Hy-Vee receipts for the "My School's Cool" competition.
