Governor's Cup Fitness Training Program

We would like to invite the students, parents, gaurdians, and the faculty from Rossiter School to participate in a Governor's Cup Fitness Training Program. This 6 week program will gradually increase activity and is designed to be fun for everyone. these sessions will include a warm-up, running at individual paces, games, and a cool down. You do not have to run the Governor's Cup to attend the training.

We will meet from 7:40 to 8:20 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Sierra Park, beginning Tuesday, May 1st. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions and bring a water bottle.

Please call Debbie or Don Gibson if you have any questions. 439-5673 or 439-1375. If you are able to help, please give us a call - we need you!
