Good morning!! It’s Celebrate Fitness Day!! Due to rain, we were able to arrange for the inflatables to be in the grade school gym. Because of this, student visit times have had to be adjusted and space in the gym will be limited. We are excited that all students will still get to enjoy the inflatables!! Thank you for everyone’s patience and understanding 😊

HEY CGS!!! Don't forget....tomorrow is CELEBRATE FITNESS DAY!! Wear your orange and black and some comfy clothes, because rain or shine, we are still a go!!!!! Be prepared for a day of fun!! 😃🧡🖤
