4th Street Cruise was a BLAST!!!!

The Cruise is BACK!!!!

We were pleased to enjoy popping Kettle Corn at the 2021 4th Street Cruise. It was good to get back to popping for the public and enjoy the camaraderie of working together to "fill those bags with love - and kettle corn."

Best part was that there were only 7 concession stands serving food along the 4th Street venue.  We couldn't keep up with the demand for our golden nuggets. At times, we had 30+ people lined up for kettle corn.  We even sold 15 bags to people driving by in the parade.

Believe it or not - we raised $2,263.  Not Bad!!

This is a wonderful event because all of our funds will go to youth programs and schools throughout the Cedar Valley.  Keep chomping that kettle corn!!

Tony Reid Shares Stories from Being a Principal

May 26, 2021 - What do you get when you cross an elementary school principal with a high school principal?  I wouldn’t do it.  Principals don’t like to be crossed!  

Tony Reid, retired elementary school principal, talked about his varied experiences with the many students, parents, and staff conflicts that he encountered during his tenure as principal.  Every day was a different experience.  

Tony was there to help make the students become good students and future citizens and therefore, make a greater nation for us by pushing strong education for all.  The best investment is in our children.  Tony was willing to work with teachers that were in need of assistance and guidance within the school district’s policy.
