Every student entering Bill Barker’s Thanksgiving card contest earned a $1 McDonalds gift card. Each of his three bus routes had a winner earning a $5 gift card to the restaurant, with second place students winning a $3 card. The overall winner, Tori Boynton, earned an additional $5 gift card. Barker said if the winners aren’t interested in McDonalds as a prize, he’d give them the cash equivalent.

McKinley Park Festival
The McKinley Park Festival kicked off at 8:30 a.m. Saturday July 31 with a kids fishing contest. More than 150 kids participated in the contest. A bike parade ensued at 1 p.m. The parade was judged and two boys and two girls received new bikes. The Bill Riley Talent Show took place at the bandshell at 2 p.m. First-place contestants advanced to perform at the Iowa State Fair. And at 10 p.m., the Creston Shooters delivered an 18-minute fireworks display.

Starting school on Aug. 23, or earlier, is a good idea.
I agree, it prevents school from lasting too far into June.
I disagree, it is too early, especially if it starts before the end of the Iowa State Fair.
School should be year-round
