CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) A new program is getting preschool students with special needs in the pool.
The Cedar Falls Community Schools’ initiative focuses on water safety for the 18 3- and 4-year-olds who participate in the weekly sessions at Peet Junior High School. A lot of partners are working to give the children this experience.
Students are enrolled in the Panther Academy for Water Safety, which was started two years ago by Mike Hagensick. PAWS is designed to offer adaptive swimming for people with a range of special needs, from young children to elderly adults.
Greater Hutch announces new Workforce Development programs
Greater Hutch, an Economic Development Partnership for Reno County, is collaborating with Hutchinson Community College and Hutchinson Career and Technical Education Academy to introduce two new workforce initiatives that will enhance technical educational training opportunities for our local youth.
Limited sponsorship opportunities are available for both programs.
The first, Signing Day, will take place May 6 at HCTEA. Like athletic signings, the signing day ceremony is designed to honor students who are entering a technical field and emphasize the importance of their career choice.
On the day of the event, high school students, parents, instructors, administration, counselors, industry partners, and potential employers will celebrate as students join their peers to commit to their future technical program pathway of choice.
