Students have already planned a middle school dance to fundraise for a memorial to children who have died of disease, members of the St. Charles Cemetery Association and the Women's Cemetery Improvement Association heard on Tuesday.

Eighth grade students pitch the idea of a bike path running alongside or through Riverside Cemetery in Charles City, offering visitors a chance to interact with the landscape and expand the already-existing path in the area.
