*From the PTO*


The Highlander Aquatic Center is hosting open swims that can help raise funds for the PTO! I have attached the flyer below that lists specific information. They are having a contest with elementary schools to see who can get the most swimmers to their open swims in January and February. Mention Hutchings PTO and we receive $1 for every swimmer and the school with the most swimmers will receive $500!
