Summer Special Events
GRGA is participating in several unique events this summer. Along with the Tall Timber Days Parade in August, GRGA would like to invite all members to walk the parades at the Cohasset Blackwater Barge Festival and Greenway Centennial. Times and locations are posted in the lobby. GRGA will also be operating booths at these events as team fundraisers.

Roll-over Enrollment
Unless informed otherwise, GRGA will assume members will be attending the next month’s session. If at anytime you decide to take a break from attending or wish to discontinue your membership, it is greatly appreciated if you can inform the information desk. This can be done in the form of a note, phone call, email or in person. This information will assist in the proper staffing of classes and allow GRGA to fill vacant spots with new students.
Pro Shop Update
The used leotard sale will conclude at the end of June. If you still have a leotard on the sales rack and want to reduce the price of your leotard, please do so through the information desk staff.
GRGA will be ordering Tank Tops with the GRGA logo to be offered in the pro-shop soon. Also, in the fall, GRGA will offer hooded sweatshirts again.
Lost and Found
From water bottles to winter jackets, we routinely find valuable items around the gym that end up in the lost and found. We strongly encourage everyone to place their name on items they do not want to replace. The lost and found box is located outside of the girl’s locker room in the lobby.
Summer Pro-rate Option
GRGA will pro-rate one week of your summer tuition if your child will miss class due to summer camp or a family vacation. Up to two additional absences may be made up during the session. Please continue to notify the office of any absences via telephone, email or in person.
Business Card Board
Do you have a business that you would like to promote at GRGA? For a fee of $50 for twelve months, any business may stock the board with business cards that other GRGA members and visitors can take. All proceeds from this board will go towards the GRGA competitive team fundraising account.
