There is 4 high schools in the CR district!!! If you as a school district don’t recognize them as equals how will anyone else?!
After taking last year off due to the pandemic, Metro High School students and staff prepared the annual Thanksgiving meal, including everything from turkey and gravy to mac and cheese.
The event has been enjoyed for over 40 years at the school.

We were happy to host a group of students and staff making Mac and Cheese at Jane Boyd Community House! Always a great tradition!

Cedar Rapids Community School District do you know if they are giving out gift cards to the children? I know at one of the last ones they gave the 12+ a $50 GC to WM. I told our 10 year old that when there was a vaccine for him he'd get one too and he was so excited "It's all mine, I can do what I want with it?" Going to get him vaccinated regardless, just wanted to let him know if GC or not :)
Can anyone tell me if there is school tomorrow November 15th? I’ve heard no but don’t see anywhere that says that?? Cedar Rapids Community School District
Students and staff from across the District found creative ways to observe Veterans Day.
Grant Wood Elementary 4th-graders began their day by handing out cards and singing patriotic songs to veterans at Hy-Vee. Grant Elementary School 5th-graders are writing letters to veterans thanking them for their service. Van Buren Elementary held a virtual assembly to celebrate the day.
#WeAreCRCSD
Thank you Van Buren for continuing the tradition of a Veterans' Day Assembly and to Grant Wood for you honoring of Vetrans. 🇺🇸
❤️
That’s awesome
Just like in their school’s namesake’s painting "Arbor Day," students at Grant Wood Elementary School planted trees on school grounds this morning. The Grant Wood PTA received a grant from Trees Forever to help cover the costs of the 20 trees planted with the help of Chalupsky Landscaping.

It’s been a big day of progress at the Cedar Rapids Student-Built House! Madsen Custom Homes, Inc. installed roof trusses with the collaboration of students on the ground. Once the trusses were secure, Sugarfire Smoke House delivered and donated a catered lunch for the workers and the students.

Does each high school have kids that participate or does each high school end up doing a house? I love that kids have these opportunities!
I love seeing youth work with their hands and create a home.❤️

Harding Middle School CR students took a break from their regular school day last week to learn about career opportunities from several community members.
“Career Day gives middle schoolers exposure to a variety of careers that they’re not normally exposed to or know about,” explained Jen Novotny, sixth grade counselor at Harding. “At the middle school level, it’s all about exposure."
