For anyone interested in helping as a Lifeguard at the Milford HS pool: If a student lifeguard is willing to "volunteer" guard for MAST practices and not already an MHS aquatic staff, the district policy is that they MUST complete a background check prior to lifeguarding and provide current certifications. This background check may be completed at the MEVSD administrative office and an appointment must be made prior to getting this completed. The cost, I believe, is $60.00, however, students may be reimbursed if they get approval from the treasurer's...

I recommend gradually and deliberately using differente strategies to find what works best. (Let me help get you started: A dozen glazed donuts and a 20 oz....
