 Parents, we are now a located business on Google!  We have already seen increased traffic to the website and interest in the club as a result.  We do need your help.  Please take a minute to Google us and give us a review.  This will help people know that we are legit.  If you have time to include a sentence or two about what you like most about Buckeye that would also be wonderful.

14 Acts of Kindness  In an effort to make our corner or the world a kinder place, we'd like to do a small spread kindness project with the team.  There are 14 weeks between each groups first day and last meet this summer. We would like to have a different spread kindness project each week and are taking suggestions from swimmers and parents! Please submit your ideas for a weekly kindness project.  Each project should be something short and simple to do, and something that an eight year old could complete with little stress. We are looking for small acts of kindness that brightens the day of people around us. Here is a great resource to help you get started on ideas to share http://www.spreadkindness.org/ Our JO team decided they would get the project going and had bag tags made up for the swim meet participants.  They were received with lots of smiles from a lot of very nervous swimmers.  The bag tags are pictured here.
