At ASI, we can guarantee your child is thankful for participating in a high-energy sport where they get to bounce, swing, flip, and twist. Then your child goes to Grandma’s and shows off their cool new skills. We know. We hear it all the time.
But, have you ever asked a coach why they are thankful for their job? Well we asked.
It’s that time of year again. We know what you’re thinking, “The kids are out of school for a couple days and I still have to work. Where can I send them for the day?”
Plans for Saturday Night? Why not be proactive with shopping this year and drop the kids off at ASI from 7-11pm for Parents’ Night Out. While the kids are shopping at Mall Night, you can treat yourself to a little retail therapy of your own.
Here’s 5 reasons to send your kids to Parents’ Night Out and shop:
Your child stays active while you burn calories hitting up your favorite shops!
Need to stock up on winter items the kids grew out of from last season? Get in and out of the store while the kids are safe and warm at ASI!
So you got stuck with cooking deviled eggs for Thanksgiving? Get your grocery shopping done without the kids before all the paprika is sold out.
Tired of your kids finding where you hide the Christmas presents? You’ll have plenty of time this year to shop and hide the gifts while the kids learn and play at ASI!
It’s just FUN! Having fun must be taken seriously; it is great for the mind, body, and soul!
Pre-register now for Mall Night Parents’ Night Out!
ASI Gymnastics hosted the second Gymmie Kids “Practice Makes Perfect” Meet of the year this past Sunday at ASI Firewheel. Thirty-one special needs students from nine different ASI locations showed off routines on six different events. Gymmie Kids Director Mary Kate Hopkins organized the event which included a group warm up to music, the competition, a dance party, and a medal presentation. Each child competed on the events of their choice and received a medal, flower, and ASI tote bag at the end. It was a perfect day at ASI Gymnastics.
