Reminder — registration opens tonight for spring and summer Recreation programs.
If last week’s school break or this week’s snow days had you at your wit’s end and your kids a bit stir crazy. . . You may want to check out Rec’s handful of special programs on weekdays that kids don’t have school this April (or are released early).
Registration for most of these programs is limited and requires paying a fee. (Scroll down to the bottom for the one exception.)
