ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES: RETURN-TO-WORKOUTS PLAN
Starting June 22, our Return-to-Workouts Plan takes effect, and is intended to give guidance for returning to workouts while adhering to state and local guidelines in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our workout plan is set up in phases and the transition from one phase to the next can only be accomplished by meeting guideline criteria. Workouts must remain voluntary to students (CHSAA bylaws) and coaches, and all Jeffco coaches are required to follow these guidelines. Plan specifics can be reviewed here .

KIWANIS CLUB OF BELMAR WINS GRANT, PAYS OFF LUNCH DEBT

The group has worked with Patterson International Elementary for a number of years, providing volunteers and financial support to enhance student experiences.
