If you think the kids are the only ones who aren't quite ready for this, think again. Cedar Rapids police are asking motorists to be especially aware as the new school year starts.
A family event in downtown Cedar Rapids will be providing school supplies for area kids, but you'd better get your name in now to be sure you're among the 500!
I was half joking the other week when I mentioned how you know kids are back in school when they start getting sick, making reference to what they call the "back-to-school plague." However, a new virus is spreading quickly, now impacting Iowa, and this is no laughing matter.
