✨ Big cheers for Hiawatha first grader, Gwendolyn! ✨
Tomorrow, Gwendolyn will be a Kid Captain, and today she got the superstar treatment when Herky and the Iowa Spirit Squad surprised her at school. 🖤💛 Herky even walked her down the halls as classmates lined up to cheer her on—it was a day full of Hawkeye pride and Hiawatha love! 🐥💛🖤

✨ A Legacy of Love & Learning ✨
The Cedar Rapids Community School District and Cedar Rapids Community Schools Foundation are honored to announce the creation of the Twila & Larry Wiley Endowment Fund, made possible through a generous $100,000 gift from the Wiley family. 💙
In addition, the Wileys donated a large collection of children’s books to be shared in Little Libraries across our schools, putting free books directly into the hands of students. 📚
This extraordinary act of generosity will:
🍎 Support teachers with classroom resources & professional development
🔧 Expand student opportunities through career & technical education programs
Larry Wiley shared this about his late wife’s legacy:
“This endowment in Twila’s memory honors her endless passion for teaching… I hope this endowment continues to celebrate her legacy by supporting Cedar Rapids students and staff for years to come.”
We are deeply grateful to the Wiley family for ensuring Twila’s love for students will continue to inspire generations. 💛

🇺🇸 Today we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, as well as the bravery of the first responders and all who answered the call that day. We will never forget. 🕊️
