Quick Note from Ms. Gayle!

Communication is one of the most important tools we use, or should use every day.  I have found that most misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and anger issues, are the direct result of miscommunication. With the new classes starting, we feel it is important that all of our customers understand that we are always open to questions and concerns as well as praise. 

If you ever need to get in touch with me, you are more than welcome to email me at gayle@tumblewithus.com or by calling the gym at 790-9400.  If there are times that you would like to speak to your child's teacher, please leave a message for them with me or with the staff in the front office.  We will get the message to the instructor and they will give you a call back at their earliest convenience.  Please remember that our instructors only have 5 minutes between classes which does not give them a lot of time to spend with parents.  Please know that they do care about your child and they are interested in working with you for the benefit of your child.

I appreciate any and all feedback received from parents and I share that feedback with my staff and my directors.

Ms. Gayle
Preschool & Girl's Program Director


Do you have your Skill Puzzles from last year?

We are very excited about the progression and puzzle system that was created last year.  We found it to be a valuable tool for our instructors, fun and motivating for our students and a great way for us to communicate your child's progress with you, our parents.  If you still have your puzzle from last year, would you please bring it to your new class.  This way your new teacher will already know what skills your child has already accomplished.  We realize that some of you may not have your puzzles from last year.  Please let us know if you need help recreating your puzzle.  We have also come up with a new way to help us track your child's progress in the coming years that will not require you to bring the puzzle with you.  Please try to help us out this year and bring your child's existing puzzle with them for class on the first day.

If you are moving up in level (ie.  recreational to immediate or immediate to advanced, etc...), you do not need to bring in last years puzzle, since you will be receiving a new one.

Thanks for your help and support.


Quick Notes from NRMA!

We just wanted let everyone know how well the Summer martial arts classes are going.  The students are learning and excelling quickly.  The children are enjoying the classes and have been excited about their new skills.  If you have other friends or family that would be interested, please don't hestitate to let them know about NRMA.  Don't forget that we offers a $10 refer - a - friend discount.

We are also wanting to offer a self defense seminar for women over serveral weeks.  We are trying to get feedback from you on if this is something that you would be interested in doing.  Instructor Ryan would be teaching this seminar and with his background in law enforcement, we feel that it should be a very informative session.  You can send an email to Rachel at
rachel@tumblewithus.com and let us know if this would be interesting. 


A Note from the Directors!

We would like to welcome back all of our students that will be starting classes with us the week of August 24th.  We are excited to see all of our returning students and watching them continue to learn and improve their gymnastics.  We would also like to welcome all our new families and students to NRG.  We look forward to teaching them all the exciting aspects of gymnastics and we strive to help them improve their self confidence, self esteem as well as other life skills.

We would also like to ask everyone to bear with us as this time of the year can get very hectic.  The lobby will be more crowded and the parking lot will get full at times.  There is additional parking in the grass lot to the right of the building.  You are more than welcomed to use that area for overflowing parking.  The opening to this area is near the railroad tracks to the far right of the property.  Again, please be patient when dealing with others so that we can have a peaceful transition.

Please know that we are always available if you have any questions or concerns in regards to your child's progress, our philosophy or any other issues that you have through out the year.  As with the notes from Ms. Gayle on communication, we love to have open communication with our parents in the gym.  You will see us from time to time in the main office or the lobby, please feel free to come and say hello and let us know how things are going.
 

Thanks and we look forward to a great year at NRG!
Scott and Rachel Davis
Owners / Directors
