Happy Thanksgiving!

Gross Motor Fun: Kindergarteners Shine on the Grit Sports Field Trip

Kindergarten students had an exciting field trip to Grit Sports Training, where they participated in obstacle courses and parkour challenges. This hands-on experience was not only fun but also a valuable way to reinforce the gross motor skills they practice daily at school.
