With the weather turning a little colder, we want to provide an opportunity for our students to attend "Open Gyms" on Sunday afternoons. Open Gym will start on Sunday, October 23rd and will happen on Sunday's from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. This is an opportunity for students to come and work on their skills for athletics. This is NOT a babysitting session. If children are misbehaving, parents will be responsible for coming to get their children. There will be an adult that monitors the Open Gym sessions. We are looking for adults who are interested in monitoring these sessions. Mr. Weismantel will monitor the first session this weekend. If you are interested in monitoring a session please contact Mr. Weismantel at 284 - 2875. If we have weekends without a monitor, we will cancel the session.
