The Wakefield Lions Club has provided students and teachers at Swift Middle and Clermont Elementary schools, 1866 and 1868 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, with outdoor instructional space. Lions club members installed three of the club’s tents at the schools on Sept. 14. Swift assistant principal John Dolan said the tents will enable students who would have been in the gymnasium to instead have class outside, with the space necessary for social distancing. The tents are slated to be used for the next three months. “(They will be) outdoor areas that our students and teachers can use for outdoor learning environments,” Clermont principal Chris Zander said. “I’m excited for this opportunity and appreciative of our community’s support for our Wakefield Lions Club members set up tents for outdoor instruction at Swift and Clermont schools. students and schools.”
