Before we jump into upcoming Jack Sports and events, we're gonna cover city admin news and announcements, and then we'll cover Quincy Jack sports and events happening today and later this weekend. From the city offices, the Quincy Recreation Department is now accepting applications for lifeguards and swim instructors for the new aquatic center.

Training is available and applicants must be at least 15 years of age to apply, apply today and be part of something exciting from day one. If you have questions, email Amanda at Quincy Washington US, or call 5 0 9 7 8 7 3 5 2 3 extension five. Also, the rec department would remind, like to remind you that you only have another week to buy your aquatic center season passes at a 15% discount.

You can head over to the City of Quincy website [00:12:00] and buy your season passes for the Aquatics Center right now through the end of the month. They're 15% off.

From 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM held over at the police department, there will be free locking medication bags and boxes and Narcan training. Refreshments will be provided while supplies last. I encourage you if you've got medications sitting around your house, this is a great opportunity to get those safely put away.

A lot of times kids get started on the wrong path by experimenting with prescription drugs that they find loose around the house from when you were sick or injured or something like that. And this is a great way to secure those things. Tomorrow the city is hosting their spring cleanup [00:13:00] day from nine to 3:00 PM from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the city yard.

Next to the public services building at First Avenue Southwest and Division Street. You can dispose of household refuge, scrap metal, and appliances for a $10 fee.

Get that spring cleaning done. Now while you have this opportunity to get rid of that stuff, mostly for free In School News on April 29th from six to 7:30 PM at the Quincy Middle School. The Quincy School District will be presenting an event titled, raising Safe Digital Kids Parenting Strategies for Online Safety.

Kids are growing up in a digital world that's just part of life. At this point. Many parents aren't sure what kids are seeing online or how to keep 'em safe. You're busy at work and trying to keep up with all the changing trends in the digital world is really a handful. [00:14:00] This event is for parents of any age.

You're invited to learn how to protect your child. Ask questions. And talk to local experts, be part of the conversation. It is a changing landscape and our kids are burying the brunt of that. It is amazing how fast things are happening online, and we all know that you guys are busy working, so get a helping hand.

This is a great opportunity and this is a very real discussion. Mark your calendars for the 2026 Quincy FFA Plant Sale. It's happening on April 30th and May 1st from three 15 to 5:00 PM. On May 2nd from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM cash your checks only. This is a great way to start your spring planning, planting, not planning.

Also on that weekend plan on attending the back to Jacks auction and dinner on Friday, May 1st at 5:00 PM at the Quincy Business and Event Center. This annual event is a great fundraiser to help support a lot of stuff that goes on. At the high [00:15:00] school,
