Swim Lessons Recap
Over 30 children participated in the free swim lessons that were provided by the STARS Club last week. The students were lead by instructor Paul Pero with help of Leeann Moses, Jen Addair, as well as a few parents. As the week progressed, the students became more comfortable in the water, learned basic strokes, and had a lot of fun, too!
Plans for swimming lessons next year are already in the works.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to our helpers and to our instructor Paul Pero!!
