nasa volunteers were excited to be included in Monroe County Health Department’s Slide into Safety program. Over 600 third grade students came to be taught about safety at 12 different stations. Schools came to the Recreation Building in Tomah from Arcadia, Blair-Taylor, NOW, Cashton, Kickapoo, Hillsboro, Bangor, West Salem, LaGrange, Lemonweir and Miller.

Nasa volunteers taught boater safety and proper use of life vests to the enthusiast students. The best question of the day: “What if a person fell in the water who was blind, had a broken arm, a broken leg and couldn’t swim?”. Thanks again to Shannon and MCHD for including us in a memorable day. Thanks also to nasa volunteers Connie Hurd, Jim Martell, Dan and Jeanette Boehm, and Dave and Laurie Stutzman.
