This week, we will cover rank requirements covering aquatics safety in preparation for the whitewater trip. ⚠️ NO PLC THIS MONDAY! ⚠️ Our calendar had tomorrow listed for our next Patrol Leaders' Council. However, this is being rescheduled to August 18th at 6:00 pm as Mr. Hall has a conflict at work that will prevent him from arriving in time for the PLC. □ Help!
