On their final day, students became certified junior lifeguards. “Taking them on all these different outings and field trips have helped build that team camaraderie and have helped them learn that bullying is not okay, it has helped them learn to help each other when they’re down,” said Summer Administrator Jennifer Lemaire-Theus.
The program will be held again next summer.
