The DFF welcomes The Monarch School back to Stars Gymnastics!

 


On Friday, October 3rd The Monarch School started their first Fall class at Stars Gymnastics. The students were extremely excited to be back crawling, tumbling, stretching and having a fun time! The DFF is happy to support this wonderful group and we are looking forward to a great year ahead!

"Through the gymnastics classes organized and funded by the Discover Fitness Foundation, our students have the opportunity to practice their individual objectives in a fun and engaging way outside of the classroom. They have access to facilities, activities, and modified instruction that they likely wouldn't otherwise encounter. Our students look forward to this experience on a regular basis. With the guidance of their coaches, they practice skills such as flexible sequencing, inhibition, perseverance, turn taking, communication, following directions, and gross motor skills. As these skills progress, confidence rises and students who experience many challenges in life feel a sense of increased competence. The coaches are encouraging and provide the support necessary in order to accomplish goals that may have originally seemed out of reach such as independently walking on a balance beam, doing a forward roll, or climbing out of a pit. This opportunity has inspired several students to pursue gymnastics and fitness in general outside of these classes. The Monarch School is appreciative of the meaningful and joyful experiences the Discover Fitness Foundation has generously provided and to Star Gymnastics for warmly welcoming us and accommodating our students."
