Brit's Upcoming Gymnastics Schedule

Here is the upcoming gymnastics schedule for the rest of this season: . Premier Invite - Omaha - Jan 30th Mitchell Invite - Mitchell - Feb 13th Rushmore Invite - Rapid City - Feb 28th Beach Party - Sioux Falls - March 13-14th STATE MEET - Brookings - March 19-20th ************************************************** Someone once asked me how we can afford to keep Brittney in gymnastics since it's so expensive and there are so many trips. There are three major reasons: 1) The booster club offers fundraisers every year. The first year, Brit raised half of her booster club money and the past two years she was able to sell enough butterbraids to pay for each year. Just this year she raised $657.00. 2) The gym lets parents have a used leo sale every year so gymnasts who grow out of a leo can purchase a bigger one without spending so much money. We also try to honor requests for gymnastics stuff for Christmas or birthday gifts. 3) Quite a few of the out-of-town meets aren't too far away so we try to avoid staying overnight. When we do have an overnight trip, we stay with friends or family instead of a hotel. I also usually pack food for a least one of the meals. We've also been just taking one parent and kid instead of the whole family so we don't have to pay for everyone to get into the meet. . We've always said that we'll try to support each kid in one activity. Brittney has chosen gymnastics and seems to be pretty good at it so we'll try our best to keep supporting her. It's worked out well so far! She'd love to have people cheering her on at the state meet in Brookings this year. It's fun to watch so come on over!
