Happy New Year to all gym families. The staff and I are excited to teach a new session of fun, fitness, discovery, education, movement and of course gymnastics skills! NEGC has another full house wil over 540 members, and a return rate of over 75%. Thanks for your continued support, and dedication to the club. NEGC is very committed to our community, through a vareity of programs and services, so if you have any suggestions, please bring them forward to me.

The new Cangym program is working very well, and if your child was in the program last session, and did not progress to the next level, PLEASE return the progress report, so that we may continue to evaluate the skills that they are missing. If they did recevie a badge, you may keep the progress card, as they will be tested at the next level. Please continue to encourage your children in the program, as every child progresses at their own pace, and we are proud of every accomplishment.

We have added several daytime programs this session, and our Gymfest group is starting to work on their group routine for the big event in Lethbridge in May. Our 23 competitive athletes will begin their competitions in Feb as well, and we wish them all the best in their routines. Our LEAP athletes have already participated in one event and performed well, and we wish to congratulate Bailey and Trinity.

National Gymnastics Awareness week is coming in Febuary, and we again invite all of our gym kids to write, draw and color their ideas to complete the phrase, I LOVE GYMNASTICS BECAUSE.......... and submit them to Kelly to be posted in the gym Please submit before Feb 08 for posting.

As always, if you would like to discuss ideas, or your child's progress, please stop by annd share with me.

Keep on GYMING!
