Welcome to our Natatorium! Thousands of students have learned to swim here through our district-wide school Aquatics program. Unfortunately, that was dropped 2 years ago due to funding constraints. On the bright side we are reviving our program with bigger and loftier goals! We will be supporting a new Lifeguard Training program to certify our HS students as lifeguards and a program that runs from Learn to Swim through a fitness swimming class. Many of our students live in poverty - about 70% of our students get free or reduced lunch. Our budget is stretched and cut year after year. We will need some help buying equipment for our new Lifeguarding class. This course will not only help our students learn how to save lives, but will provide a means for them to earn money during the summer and job experience that can help them in the future. This will be a true school to work program. Please help us out.
