10/26/2014

CD students from rooms 18 and 22 enjoyed a fantastic day at the Lemont Park District pool. The field trip was part of the adaptive physical education course the students participate in on a weekly basis. The APE teacher, Mr. Charlie, taught the students how to kick, float, and blow bubbles in the water. The students did a great job and are looking forward to their next trip!
