Today’s special Progress edition in section B is focused on education. This section highlights our public schools, the music programs, the arts, the ag program and our local college, Iowa Central Community College.

We focused on what is happening in our schools, the challenges, how our teachers are working together and the opportunities for students to get financial help to continue their education after high school.

Education takes many forms, which we tried to highlight in this special section. Whether creating art, writing papers, making music, or working in a farm setting, the brain can be stimulated at all ages.

Webster City is providing opportunities to explore interests for the young and the not so young. There is much to learn and explore in the community for all ages. Be sure to read all about it.
