Healthy Kids Iowa is providing access to additional food during summer break for eligible kids. River Bend Food Bank is partnering with pantries to distribute food in Cedar, Clinton, Dubuque, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties. Families can pick up one box per month per child aged 4 to 18. The program ends in August.

Food boxes include shelf-stable milk, fruit cups, pasta, cereal bars, peanut butter, jelly and other items. When families pick up boxes at one of the partnering food pantries, they also receive produce and meat as part of the program.

Families do not need to register. Children ages 4 to 18 are eligible to participate. Qualifying households must meet the federal poverty level of 185% or lower or must have already self-attested to eligibility for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This program is separate from the USDA Summer Food Service Program.

Visit River Bend Food Bank riverbendfoodbank.org/healthykidsiowa to find your nearest pickup site. For more information, contact River Bend Food Bank, 563-345-6490; or visit hhs.iowa.gov/healthy-kids-iowa.

Andrew Families,

Here is a link to view the 2025 Running Readers pictures and videos. This is an event where we get members from the community to come in and read to the students. They rotate around to the different classrooms, some with costumes. Mr. Fee is usually a big hit with all the students.

CURRENT JOB OPENING TAG Teacher (Shared between Delwood & Andrew) Andrew Elementary and Delwood Elementary are two premier PreK-6 grade schools located 13 miles apart in eastern Iowa. Each school shares the same passion to meet the educational needs of the ~150 students that each building serves. We are seeking a shared Talented and Gifted Teacher who will be split between both schools. The selected candidates will be responsible for leading our robust, talented, and gifted program, which includes overseeing the identification process, developing individualized learning plans, providing instruction to individual students/small groups, and collaborating with other teachers in order to meet the needs of all students. Other duties will include supporting student group participation in Math Bee, Battle of the Books, and other activities geared toward the needs of Talented and Gifted students. Certification in the area of Talented and Gifted Education is preferred, but we will consider high-quality candidates if they are willing to get a conditional license until certification can be obtained. Andrew CSD and Delwood CSD pride themselves on being innovative and high-performing schools. If you have the skills and passion to work with high-performing students in two top-notch elementary schools, we encourage you to apply by emailing your application materials to Principal Mr. Brandon Kirchhoff at brandon.kirchhoff@andrew.k12.ia.us or by submitting your materials through the Iowa Works system.

Culminating Activity Day was a blast. Summer School and Summer LEAP students had a great time.
