Central Place and the Altoona Kiwanis welcome babies into the school district by creating a packet of information about the care and feeding of newborns, plus resources of interest to new parents. Each packet includes a letter from the Southeast Polk superintendent, welcoming the child to the district and assuring parents that a desk is waiting for their child in five years. Packets also include a board book to encourage learning from the very start.
The Altoona Kiwanis, who provide the receiving blankets, board books and other packet items, assemble packets twice each year. If you are interested in receiving a packet please contact Central Place.
