FREEPORT As spring temperatures bring people outdoors for seasonal fun, park-goers like Mike Marten and his family are gearing up summer and looking for the right activities to keep their children active.
“Taking my family to Krape Park is reliving memories from my childhood and I want to create those same memories for my children,” Martin said.
The Freeport Park District made changes to its annual program guide this year by going digital. The guide is intended to let people know what is going on in the Freeport Park district for the next year. Marten said he is ready to learn more.
3 months ago Share Coach Joseph ‘Dan’ Rebuck is among the top-five finalists for Orange County Public Schools’ Support Person of the Year award.
Each day, Joseph “Dan” Rebuck heads to his job at Castleview Elementary with one goal in mind to have a positive impact on his students.
He excels at that goal, too. Rebuck, a physical-education paraprofessional at the school, recently was named a top-five finalist for Orange County Public Schools’ Support Person of the Year award.
Rebuck and his family moved to Horizon West from Pennsylvania two years ago, after his son was admitted to the University of Florida. He always had worked with children, from daycare and teaching elementary school to being a sports counselor. He also owned a computer/web design business that he sold before moving to Florida.
