Skill of the Month:

Stick The Landing

How a gymnast finishes a skill (sticks the landing) is an important part of the skill. By sticking a landing, the gymnast will show strength, control, and awareness of space. Sometimes how we finish a skill is actually how we go into the next skill

(a.k.a. connect skills).

Student evaluations took place in September. Once all evaluations are complete, results will be posted in your customer portal.

Mark your calendar!

Winter-Fest will be held on January 24th & 25th, 2015. More information to follow.

Water Breaks

Students and Parents,

We ask if you bring a water bottle to class please step off the gym floor to get a drink. Having students cut through other classes to use their water bottle from the gym side of the half wall has become a safety issue. Also remind your child to speak with their coach before leaving their group.

Thank you for helping us to resolve this issue!

Recreational Class Make-ups

Gymnastics Classes:

Saturdays @ 12 noon

Tumbling Classes:

3rd Saturday of each month @ 12:15pm

Make-up Policy Reminders:

Tuition is not pro-rated for absences. Therefore, offering a make-up is a courtesy we extend to you. Students are eligible to make-up one class within 30 days as long as tuition and fees are up-to-date. Make-ups are held on Saturdays and sign-ups are required. Spaces are limited and not guaranteed. They may not be "saved up" and taken as a free class at a later time. A scheduled make-up will be counted if we are not notified 24 hours in advance that you are canceling. If you know your child will miss, please make arrangements ahead of time to make it up.

Make-ups are not held for classes that meet 1 1/2 hours or more per week. This has been factored into your class tuition rate.

2014-2015 Giving Project

The Star team is sponsoring Operation Christmas Child.

Our goal is to collect items to fill 60 boxes, and collect $420 for shipping. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Operation Christmas Child, it is a project run by Samaritan's Purse. Operation Christmas child demonstrates God's love to children in a tangible way by partnering with churches worldwide to deliver gift filled boxes to those in need.

If you are interested in helping you can make a cash and /or gift donation. A drop box for all gifts will be located at Sonshine Gymnastics. If you would like to make a cash donation, please stop by the front desk, where the cash box will be located.

*Please note that all cash donations must be received no later than 10/18/2014, (each shoe box costs $7.00 to ship). If we exceed our shipping total we will use the rest of the money to purchase additional supplies/gifts.

*All gift donations must fit in a 6 x 11.5 x 4 shoe box and must be received no later than 10/25/2014. Please see the flyer available at Sonshine for a list of donation ideas/items. Also, remember that we need to fit multiple items in each box. We will be filling boxes for girls, ages 5 - 14.

Some Things Are Not Meant to be Shared

Colds, Flu, Fifths Disease, Poison Ivy, Ring Worm, MRSA, and Head Lice just to name a few.

** If your child has a fever or anything contagious do not send them to class

** Open wounds need to be covered

** Hair is to be pulled up off the neck and out of their eyes
** Encourage your child NOT to share drinks, combs, brushes, hats and head bands

** Food allergies: Please refrain from bringing in peanut products and tree nuts as snacks and placing them in your cubby

** Wash hands before and after class

** Let Sonshine's office know if your child attended class with anything contagious

PLEASE NOTE: Sonshine will continue to have the facility professionally cleaned, vacuumed and disinfected on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
