Our gym held a Giving Tuesday donation event with our Team athletes. We are trying to encourage a thoughtful mind and a giving heart this holiday season. We handed out letters encouraging our Team athletes to choose an organization, donate $1-$5 of their own money, and then write us a letter telling us why they chose that particular organization. The gym then matched up to $5 for each donation. The more our kids see giving the more likely they are to give themselves. Whether they give of their money, their time, or their resources, we are thankful to have such generosity in our youth.
Our Gymnastics Team competed in their second meet of the season this weekend, Make-A-Wish, in Barrington, Illinois. We had 15 girls place in the Top 10 for All-Around Awards!

Our Gymnastics Team competed in the Paul Hamm Invitational in St. Charles, IL. It was their first competition of the 2018-2019 season. Great job, GCGT!

Gem City will hold its Winter Wonderland Pizza Fun Night on Friday, December 7 from 6:30-9:30 pm.
