Gymnastics photos make a great holiday gift for family members! We will be taking photos at various times during the week of November 12th, 2009. A schedule is posted at the gym. We’ll be doing a group shot of each class and individual pictures for those who want to purchase them. Everyone will be participating in the group picture. Gymnasts will want to look especially nice for them. Make sure your gymnast’s hair is pulled back nice and neat. Order forms will be available at the gym on photo day.
