The Horizons at New Canaan Country School Board, Board of Governors and leadership donors gathered together on Wednesday, September 8, to dedicate the new and improved McNaught Pool and celebrate another successful year. The new pool will serve as a springboard for student success for years to come as our students master swimming skills and build confidence that spills over into all aspects of their lives.
Lyn McNaught, former Horizons at NCCS Executive Director, whose leadership led to the building of the original Horizons pool, was in attendance to help with the dedication of the new pool. A new plaque was revealed which thanked pool donors whose generous contributions made the updated pool a reality for Horizons at NCCS students.
The pool was used over the summer not only for student swim lessons, but also for lifeguard training and adult caregiver swim lessons, as well. Jed Stevens, the son of the founder of Horizons of NCCS, George Stevens, and his wife, Kerry Stevens, former Horizons at NCCS Executive Director, revealed the dedication plaque for the new pool. Horizons Board Chair, Sanny Warner, led the dedication ceremony by expressing her gratitude, “We are beyond grateful to the generous donors who made the new McNaught Pool a reality.”
