Summer Student Employment Opportunity - Info from the Y - Dear all- Should you have students age 15 or older who’d like to consider a job at the Prescott Pool this summer, we are initiating our summer recruitment. We’ve been fortunate to have some fantastic young staff from Prescott and Waitsburg support the pool in the past, and we encourage Dayton youth to also apply. The Y is honored to manage the Prescott pool on behalf of the Prescott Parks and Rec department.
Generally, the Prescott pool summer jobs extend from mid June (after school is out) to mid August. We are still finalizing the summer 2024 schedule. The Y provides American Red Cross training for students interested in serving as summer lifeguards or swim instructors. These are jobs that can carry a student through high school and college! Wherever there is a college or community pool there is always a need for qualified Aquatics staff!
We are planning a “try your skills” functional review later this Spring. The purpose of this free weekend course is to provide youth encouragement and to help them assess if they’d like to pursue the full Red Cross training that is fully paid by the Y.
Questions welcome! Karen

An update from our kitchen - Weather is affecting much of the country and has begun to take a toll on the lettuce harvest. Ms. Sofia is working to adjust our salad bar and keep things fresh and supplied according to what is available, thank you Ms. Sofia! An additional complication, one of our suppliers is experiencing a worker strike which will impact delivery of food, thank you for your patience as we work to plan for any disruption. Last but not least, our school closure last week caused changes to our current menu. Ms. Allicia is working diligently to keep everyone fed and happy and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you Kitchen Staff for working so hard to feed and care for all of us!
