The American Heart Association will be hosting a free virtual STEM event, scheduled to kick off on April 27th. Below are the preliminary details.
Eastern Iowa Stem Goes Red
Cedar Rapids Parks & Recreation
My name is Jesse Hahn and I am with the City of Cedar Rapids Parks and Recreation Department. I am reaching out to inform you of a great opportunity for youth in our community during winter break. As many of you may already know, we hit the streets this past summer with the Rollin’ Recmobile and had great success. This is a mobile van that goes to various city parks and provides activities for kids to take home or play in the park. We are fortunate to bring it to the parks this winter and will be handing out a limited number of hats, gloves and mittens to local kids.
All activities will be done safely, masks will be worn, and social distancing will take place while following guidelines set in place by the Linn County Health Department.
Please see the attached document that includes the upcoming schedule and feel free to reach out with any questions.
I look forward to seeing all the smiling faces in a few weeks.
Thanks,
Jesse Hahn
