Vote Center 2: Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 4000 Hudson Road

Vande Kieft Memorial Fund
Supports connect>cf Program
Dick and Judy Vande Kieft passed away in November 2018. Dick served on the Cedar Falls School Board for 31 years
,
as president and vice president for nine of those years. Their family specified that memorials be sent to the Cedar Falls Schools Foundation.
Receiving over 30 donations, the Dick and Judy Vande Kieft Memorial Fund grew to $2,405.
Recently, their son, Jason Vande Kieft, decided how the funds will be used within the district. “We feel they would want the fund to support programs that most directly impact student success, especially if those students are disadvantaged. Students
need
home connectivity for homework, planning and teacher communication. We'd be pleased to see the memorial fund support the connect>CF initiative,” said Jason.
connect>cf is a collaboration between the district and Cedar Falls Utilities to provide reduced-cost home internet service to eligible Cedar Falls Schools students in grades 7-12.
On Friday, February 7, Monica Boyer, Cedar Falls Schools Foundation Executive Director, presented a check to Lindsay Spears, Cedar Falls High School Associate Principal, for the connect>cf program.

We will have information at the event about dental screenings and vision screenings. If your child has any significant health needs, the sooner you contact the school nurse the better, as it gives us time to communicate and have plans in place.

2020 is a census year, when all of the people living in the United States are counted. The census is important because it determines everything from congressional representation to the distribution of billions of dollars in federal funds. In 2010, Iowa lost funding due to an undercount of young children. An estimated 4,726 children were missed. Some of the education programs that have lost funds in Iowa each year since 2015 by undercounting include: Special Education Grants, National School Lunch Program, Title 1 Grants,
Head Start, School Breakfast Program.
April 1 is Census Day: Households can respond online, by mail or by phone
June-July 2020: Census takers go door to door to count people who have not responded to the 2020 Census.
