CEDAR RAPIDS — The City of Cedar Rapids, in cooperation with the Cedar Rapids Community School District, Cedar Rapids Public Library, Taylor Area Neighborhood Association, and Alliant Foundation will open a new story walk at Reed Park, 618 Seventh Ave. SW, on Thursday, June 3 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
A story researched and written by fourth and fifth grade students at the Cedar River Academy at Taylor is featured first. The book, entitled “The Wild Weather Week,” is about the Flood of 2008. The topic was chosen due to the impact the flood had on students at the school and in the adjacent neighborhood.

A book written by Cedar River Academy students about another weather event, the Flood of 2008, is being featured in the new Story Path at Reed Park, 618 Seventh Ave. SW. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette)
