For anyone who wants
to become involved with the Bethel school district and their kids
who are physically and/or mentally challenged you can do so on Thursday's
here at PLU. The Bethel school district brings kids in their program
to our campus for swimming recreation. The folks who run this program
are more than happy to have students, whether they are in the adaptive
physical education course or not, come to the campus pool facility
and donate some of their time in assisting their students. For more
information please contact Maja
Pederson.
