A Letter from Carly
December 2022
Dear Discover Gymnastics Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and looking forward to all the hustle and bustle of the season. Let’s make our holidays extra enjoyable by staying healthy! I would like to ask all the Discover families and staff to help us keep everyone (students, coaches and families) as healthy as possible this holiday season. Remember that if your child is feeling sick or under the weather, you can miss their class and schedule a Make-Up Class through the Front Desk. We ask employees to stay home and rest until they feel better as well. We want everyone feeling their best this holiday season on vacations and family gatherings, so please stay home if you’re feeling under the weather at all. We need everyone’s help to stay healthy through this busy time of year! Thank you all and happy holidays to everyone!
WELLNESS REQUEST
Happy Holidays to Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and looking forward to all the hustle and bustle of the season. Let’s make our holidays extra enjoyable by staying healthy! I would like to ask all the Discover families to once again follow ONE SPECIFIC well-practiced Covid policy:
Stay home from class until you know your child is not contagious.
Sadly, coronavirus deaths in the U.S. continue at a very high rate of 300-500 people per day.

Even though we have free and effective treatment available now (Paxlovid), we are still spreading the virus. We also have the normal diseases spreading around as well, such as influenza, RSV, strep, etc. and a little precaution can spare many others from catching any or all of these. Here at the gym, we are up close and personal with your children and they with their classmates.
My request to you is: If your child is feeling a little puny, and for sure if they have a persistent undiagnosed cough or fever, be sure to get tested for Covid, flu, strep, RSV (choose from the litany of airborne disease that seems to be everywhere) and we will continue to provide a liberal make up policy to accommodate this request. One reason for the request is because we’ve had at least 10 staff members out sick over the past month and it’s really hard to keep all of these classes covered when multiple coaches are out sick for several days. The other is that we all need to work together to stay healthy. Thank you in advance for heeding this request. Your attention to sending only healthy kids to the gym really does make a difference to classmates and staff members. I’ve asked the same of the staff; to call in sick if not feeling well, rather than come to the gym and spread whatever it is around.
Wishing everyone a wonderful, healthy, holiday season!
Carly
