HUTCHINSON, Kan — The Hutchinson Boys and Girls Club announced that they will remain closed for the rest of the school year.
In a letter to patrons on Sunday, Skip Wilson has this to say.
It’s important that you know the safety and protection of children is the number one priority of Boys & Girls Clubs of Hutchinson. We are doing everything possible to keep our Club members, staff and volunteers protected from the COVID-19 virus.
At this time the Boys & Girls Club will remain closed for the duration of the school year to prevent possible exposure or spread of the virus. This closure ensures all kids, staff and volunteers are safe when the Club reopens for the summer program on June 1; all scheduled summer orientation sessions have been canceled at this time. New dates will be announced in April. Should our date to reopen the Club change upon the need for additional precautions, we will update you with this information immediately as we fully understand the implications our closure has on both your child and family.
We will provide daily enrichment activities during the school year beginning on Monday, April 6. Each weekday at 1 PM we will upload videos showcasing our Vision Leaders leading short activities and providing updates on the Club and its members. We want each member to remain connected to his or her Club during these uncertain times.
Club parents are advised to watch for updates on the BAND app regarding videos and other announcements. For help signing up for BAND please contact Lance Patterson.
In the meantime, we are advising all our Club staff, families and youth continue to take preventative measures as recommended by the Reno County Health Department. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. We will continue to update you with any new information.
