At Lincoln Community School, the Skutnick Pool will be open from 6:00 p.m. through 10:00 p.m., Thursday, July 5, through Sunday, July 8, for use as a cooling center and to provide relief from the heat. During the heat wave, please be sure to take the necessary precautions to avoid heat exhaustion. If possible, avoid going outdoors during the heat of the day, drink plenty of fluids, and don’t overexert yourself. Please take the time to check in on elderly or disabled friends and relatives to make sure they are all right. If necessary, contact the Bayonne Police Department for assistance at 201-858-6900.
