YMCA throwing back-to-school party

The first week of school is creeping up on parents, students and even teachers who are anxiously awaiting the first day of school Tuesday.

Everyone is out buying school supplies, new uniforms and even packing their lunches but their is a light at the end of the tunnel for Lee County kids.

The Bonita Springs YMCA is celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of an academic school year with a back-to-school celebration on Aug. 13.

“We are gonna have a huge pool party with games, contests and outdoor kind of fun,” said YMCA spokesperson Robin Siewers.
The idea is to give everyone one last chance to spend time with each other.

“It’s to help people get back into the routines and just celebrate with the family,” she said.

The celebration will also include refreshments, music and a limbo contest.

“Part of the day is for member appreciation for everyone to come out and have fun,” Siewers said. “Members can bring a guest if they want and we will do something special.”
