Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 14th of July.
Good morning, Dubuque.
🎓 Education
St. Mark Early Childhood Center will open in September and offers a nature immersive space for children from birth to age four.
The new 6,744 square foot facility at 3355 Kennedy Circle features dedicated classrooms and a floor-to-ceiling reading tree—community fundraising is nearing a $1.75 million goal.
🌲 Environment
A new online gallery shows 44 common birds seen across Iowa based on data from Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Project FeederWatch.
Local bird watchers can use the gallery (compiled from 60 feeder sites) to compare which species visit feeders most often.
🏥 Health
A new study shows Iowa ranks 10th among the healthiest states by measuring pollution, smoking rates, hospital readmissions, and access to wellness facilities (Iowans still face challenges with binge drinking, obesity, and foodborne illnesses).
The report credits strong education and healthcare access as key factors for this ranking.
