Water Safety @ Memorial Park Highlights
Discovery went to Memorial Park for paddleboarding! It was so fun to see students do something challenging and have fun while doing it. This is what Discovery is all about- challenging yourself and putting yourself out there to try new things. Everyone did a great job, and it was an all-around amazing experience!
