“Building confidence, self-esteem and leaderships skills through gymnastics and dance instruction in a safe and positive atmosphere.”
The new summer schedule is here! We know summertime brings about many new activities and vacations for our members. We hope that you can find a class time that will work well with your busy summer schedules. Attached, you will find a form that will make a recommendation toward a class that is best suited for your child at their current age and ability. Please consider these class options as suggested by your child’s current instructor. Detach the lower portion of the form to register for our summer session beginning June 5th. We want to remind all current members that registration for classes is done on a first come first serve basis. Class sizes are limited to an 8:1 student/staff ratio.
The $15 annual renewal fee is due to GRGA with your April tuition. This fee covers the cost of insurance, mailings and handouts for the year. As an incentive to pay this fee on time, GRGA will distribute a valuable coupon sheet to all members paying the fee on or before April 1st. This coupon sheet includes free passes to open gyms and discounts on birthday parties, leotards and pro shop items. All new members joining in 2006 are exempt from this fee until April of 2007 and are also eligible for this free coupon sheet for paying the registration fee. Coupon sheets are available at the front desk.
Gymnasts of the Month are chosen by GRGA instructors based on hard work, attendance and attitude in the gym. Congratulations to the Gymnasts of the Month for March and April. Please check out the new Gymnast of the Month display in the lobby.
