Dates to Remember:
Open Swim at Finlandia University, every Thursday, 1-2pm ($2 per a person; $6 for a family, with possible gym time afterwards until 2:30). We've had an incredible turn-out. Parents can swim too or enjoy some time chatting with other adults. This is an excellent way to get to know other homeschoolers while giving the kids some exercise and group activities!
