We’re partnering with 2nd Harvest in donating food this winter

to supply 21 emergency food outlets in Spokane that feed more

than 1,000 people each month. We’ve already filled up THREE

bins, and are trying to fill up at least THREE more! Bins are

located near the front desk until December 15th. Please, only

bring nonperishable food items such as peanut butter, canned

soup, cereal, canned fruits and veggies, etc . . . As an incentive, your child will receive a

free pass to one OPEN GYM (regular AND pre-school) session for every 4 cans of food

brought in. Thanks so much for helping us give back to our amazing community!

FLIP FEST, our home meet, is right around the corner! We’re excited to announce

our meet is FULL! In order to put on an amazing meet, however, we need YOU! We

have needs for VOLUNTEERS to help out all three days, Friday afternoon/evening,

and all day Saturday and Sunday. Anyone can help! If you have a child in a

recreational class who is interested in joining team, this is a great opportunity to see

how meets are run and get a feel for team gymnastics. Team parents, we need you

too. We have needs for: Timers/Ribbon Staplers, Concessions, Flower/Raffle Sales,

Set-up, Tear-down, and donating RAFFLE BASKETS! The Volunteer Sign-up book

will be kept at the FRONT DESK starting this week. Please stop in at drop-off or

pick-ip and sign up for one or multiple sessions. If your children will be helping at

all, THEY MUST BE SIGNED UP as well. Our volunteer coordinator this year is

Aleata Williams, and you can contact her with questions at

aleatawilliams01@gmail.com. Please sign-up today at the front desk!

All the athletes did a great job

on their evaluations. Coaches

will continue to introduce new

skills as well as drill stations to

further understanding of the

technique with more advanced

skills and to strengthen current

skill sets. Make-ups are held on

the 1st Saturday of the month

from 11-12:30 pm. Athletes

must sign up with their

coach, not the front desk, in

order to attend so we ensure

we have sufficient coaches.

Reminder that the gym will

be closed December 19th–

January 1st. Regular classes

resume January 2nd.

Starting January 2nd, we

will begin taking registra-

tions for our Year End Show!

As colder weather is

coming, please be sure your

athlete has shoes & warm

clothes to leave practice

in. DO NOT GO OUTSIDE

BAREFOOT.

Athletes need to wait for parents

inside, not outside as it is dark and

cold. No exceptions.

We wish everyone a happy and

fulfilling Christmas Season!
