Wednesday this week will be the kickoff day for the bus to Tekoa swim program, after rain cancelled it last week. The bus will be at the Rockford park Wednesday, July 20, 2011 and will leave Rockford at 12:05. It will cost $ 2.00 per child to swim at the Tekoa pool. Forms can be picked up at the office. (For financial assistance if needed, inquire: 291-3609.)
The official word received from Rockford City Hall hasn't changed:
IF SEVERAL KIDS PARTICIPATE ON SWIM DAY – JULY 20TH – THE ROCKFORD COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER AT ITS COUNCIL MEETING ON THE that evening TO CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PROGRAM. IF ONLY A FEW KIDS RIDE THE BUS ROCKFORD MAY NOT STAY IN THE PROGRAM.
The summer swim bus program originated some years ago when Palouse area town officials got together to contract for a bus and driver; Liberty School District provided the bus. A chaperone was hired. However, without enough youngsters to warrant their share of the expense, towns may opt out, and this wonderful program could end.
On Wednesdays throughout the summer, kids are bussed to the swimming pool on the school grounds in Tekoa, WA. Kids should bring their sack lunch (no cans, please.)
Bus stops include Rockford Park, Fairfield Park, Waverly Park, and Latah .. if all four towns participate again this year.
For bus times call your Town Hall.
