Thank you to the Iowa City Community School District for partnering with us not only to bring evening classes to adult family members of ICCSD K-12 students at Grant Wood Elementary School on Monday and Wednesday evenings, but also for adding to our collection of textbooks for FCP’s Monday and Wednesday morning classes at the Good News Bible Church. The daytime program serves a large number of parents of district school children, who will benefit from our expanded textbook collection.
