Saving the Monarchs!

Hey Monarchs!

Over the last decade, the monarch population has declined by an alarming 97% due to habitat loss. Monarch caterpillars feed only on milkweed, and fields where this native plant once grew are being lost to development and agricultural practices. You can help by planting milkweed seeds! - See more at:

Check out this link and they'll send some milkweed seeds that you can plant!

Successful Open Gym!

Open gym yesterday was a huge success!  We had 28 gymnasts of all levels come to practice.  There were class kids, team girls, and friends of people in the program.  Everyone had lots of fun!  It was a great time to perfect old skills and try new skills.  We will be having more open gyms coming up, so stay tuned!  Hope to see you there!
