 Drivers on Interstate 80 between Lincoln and Omaha can't miss the Holy Family Shrine, located just west of Exit 432 South. The mission of the shrine is to be "a gateway to heaven for pilgrims and travelers" and to be a place where travelers can pull off the road, pray and discover the Catholic faith. The shrine holds Mass every Saturday morning at 10 but is open every day of the week for visitors to stop in. NewsNetNebraska's Natalie Sorensen stopped by recently and provides this close-up look. |

 The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's School of Music in the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts presented an operatic performance of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Our Town" on Thursday at noon.
Set in Grover's Corners, N.H., in the opening years of the twentieth century, the play—and now the opera—depict the everyday lives of the townspeople. Additional performances of "Our Town" will be presented at 7:30 Friday night and at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Music for the performances is provided by the UNL Philharmonia. NewsNetNebraska's Elicia Dover was on hand for the opening performance. |

About 175 people attended the Community Conversation at Lincoln High School. Parents, LPS employees and educators came hoping to hear about new strategies to raise graduation rates at district schools, and to provide their own.

Lincoln's high school graduation rate may top the national average, but community and school officials don't think it's good enough.
They want to get more students involved in clubs and extracurricular activities, build closer relationships between students and teachers and develop more tailored academic programs such as a popular zoo-based science program and another focused on developing young entrepreneurs. Such measures, they say, may push the graduation rate above the 77.9 percent Lincoln Public Schools logged in 2008.
