The Open House is a time for your gymnast to demonstrate skills they have been learning as well as a mini floor routine to show their parents, grandparents, siblings etc. There is no charge for this (however we will have a voluntary donation jar available if you want to contribute, funds will be donated to the local food bank) we will have snacks for the children, and we will have some gymnastics swag available to order.
This is a fun night for all the gymnasts and we look forward to seeing all the class members in attendance, we know this is a busy time of year and we hope that everyone will make it for the 1 hour of their open house. If unable to attend please advise Jen this coming week so she can plan the floor routines accordingly for attending gymnasts.
Parking is limited as the parking lot is small so please note the signs for street parking - entrance for the event will be the back door of the church (front doors will be locked). All requirements for clothing will be sent home with your gymnast at a later time. No purchased costumes required.
