Good morning, Waterloo.

The Exchange Club of Waterloo honored Ron Steele—recipient of the 2025 Book of Golden Deeds—and Diana Sash, who received the All American Volunteer Award, at its meeting.

Waterloo Community Schools District and the Northeast Iowa Food Bank launched a program this spring that places mini food pantries in 19 schools to help kids and families.

Since its start, the program has served over 1,100 individuals & distributed more than 5,300 pounds of food, with over 250 students using the service at Lou Henry Elementary.

Area students have been honored in KWWL's 2025 Best of the Class program, which recognizes top graduating seniors and valedictorians.

The award highlights academic excellence in the local community.

Gov. Kim Reynolds announced plans to address child care access—her move comes less than a week after the Iowa Legislature adjourned for the year without passing her bill aimed at the same goals.
