District outlines grant‑funded family health and swim week for K–5
Summary
District staff said a grant will fund two days of swim lessons for each K–5 cohort, plus field trips to the Sage Center and a Lamb Weston visit; staff are coordinating certified lifeguards and volunteer support.
District staff told the board a grant will underwrite a family health and fitness program that includes in‑school activities and two days of swim lessons at a nearby recreation center for K–5 students.
"The other part of the grant is gonna pay for all the swim lessons and all of the other things that we'll do out in Boardman, those 2 days," a district staff member said, describing a plan to split cohorts across four days so kindergarten–first and 2nd grade attend on different days and 3rd–5th rotate likewise. Staff said they are coordinating with the Boardman Rec Center, Sage Center and community partners to provide transportation, lifeguards and on‑site logistics.
Staff reported McTeachers night proceeds of about $1,300 and roughly $747 in tips as recent community fundraising examples; they invited board volunteers and said the district will provide more details about volunteer sign‑up and safety supervision in advance of the events.
