As a proud alum (WHS-1988) and parent of three children in the Cedar Rapids Community School District, I have a vested interest in the programming and outreach of our Foundation. Our directive is simple: provide our amazing educators and staff additional tools and resources to enrich the educational experiences of our students, and in turn provide opportunities that will help prepare our future leaders. This assistance can take shape in continuing education for our teachers, a field trip, or funding for a variety of extra-curricular programs. This augmentation is a key ingredient in the ever-changing landscape of the educational process, and one that can pay endless dividends in the future success of our graduates and the community we live in. I hope you will join me in supporting the mission of our a Foundation, the direct impact of which is a vital investment into the future of our children.
Thank you,
Christopher Tyler, DDS, Board Chair
