Elementary School Students Celebrate Swimming Accomplishments

Over a four-week time period, approximately 160 kindergartners and first-graders at Pioneer Park Elementary School in Belle Glade received seven, 35-minute swimming lessons courtesy of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Palm Beach County.

To celebrate the program’s success and the students’ accomplishments, Principal Peggy Back-Nelson is providing an ice cream/cake party on Oct. 9 where students will receive special certificates for their participation.  The students will also receive goodie bags containing donations from McDonalds, Popeye’s Chicken and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation.
