Despite deep budget cuts to Center Cass School District 66 in Downers Grove, the community is rallying to support students, including hosting a community 5K race for members of the cross-country team, whose season was quashed this fall due to budget cuts. “I think it was a really tough decision, with the district cutting extra-curriculars, but it has energized the community,” said Elizabeth Uribe, a volunteer with the community group Save Center Cass School District 66, and the mother of a District 66 kindergartner and second grader.
