2020 lifeguard class will
still be held for students
The 2020 lifeguard class
will still be held as the
community’s pools desper-
ately need lifeguards this
year.
Organizers will use Red
Cross Blended Learning
which means the majority
of this class will be done
from the students home on
their home computer. You
do not need an Inter net
connection and this will not
deplete your family’s data
allowance.
Any st udent that had
spor ts or other commit-
ments that would not allow
them to take the class in
the original time frame can
now take this class.
