Is your student interested in summer camps and sports leagues? Need ideas for after-school activities and events? Visit every week for new activities!
Flyers will be considered for approval per district policy. The posting of this flyer in no way suggests endorsement of the program by the Cedar Rapids Community School District. View policy manual regulation 1001.1.
