Saving gymnastics
Posted On 2009-07-15 , 8:04 PM
Well, it's been quite a busy time these past 6 weeks. I found out our AD was recommending to the board that gymnastics be discontinued this fall. Quite a blow after 35 years! After letting my gymnasts and parents know what was happening we made an appeal to the board to let us continue at least for one more year. We didn't want to go out like this. I thought of my girls and how they had set goals for a 4-year high school competitive phase and how some of them had already been working out throughout the year and my heart went out to them.
We were given the okay to continue IF we could raise $11,000 in the next 3 1/2 weeks. After another board meeting it was extended 2 more weeks.
I'm overwhelmed at the support given to us by our community, family, and friends. We made our goal and it feels great. So Newton will have a high school team for at least one more year!
What is high school gymnastics like in your area?
