National Gymnastics Day

Saturday, September 20

Aim High Academy celebrated  with an open house!

The children who attended had a great time!

Each child was a "winner" and received an award.

Gymnastics at Aim High Academy is so much fun!

We love our students!

All-State Gymnastics Banquet

The Oklahoma Gymnastics All-State Banquet

was held September 5, 2014, in Norman.

Aim High Academy was pleased to have four gymnasts

qualify to attend this special event:

Sheridan, Skylar, Hadley, and Kiona.

Making this event even more special was the fact that it was Kiona's birthday!

To qualify for Oklahoma All-State, a gymnast has to have achieved a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place finish

 or 37.00 All-around at the Oklahoma State Championships. 

Also, all Regional, Westerns and National qualifiers are included,

 but they must compete at either State, Regionals, or both in order to be All-State.  

Oklahoma Elite gymnast qualifiers are also included.

Sheridan, Skylar, and Kiona with their awards.

Congratulations to our four gymnasts!!!

We finally have stall bars!

We appreciate
Laredo Petroleum

whose wonderful grant 

enabled us to purchase these stall bars!

Stall bars are an excellent tool 
for developing strength, conditioning, and flexibility.
Gymnasts can hang from a higher bar with their back facing the bar 
and perform abdominal exercises, or hang facing the bar to stretch their back.

Thank you,

Laredo Petroleum!

Kevin Durant - STRONG & KIND

 

Kevin Durant has partnered with KIND, a healthy snack food company,

to promote an initiative which aims to challenge deep-rooted stereotypes

and redefine cultural perceptions of strength and kindness.

 

Durant and KIND ask people to commit to these five principles:

•  Having the courage to be kind when others may not

•  Looking out for those who can't look out for themselves

•  Standing up when others would rather stand out

•  Leaving their world a kinder place than they found it

•  Being Strong and Kind

 

Aim High Academy was one of 35 recipients

receiving a $10,000 grant

from the Kevin Durant Foundation

and will be promoting the above five principles in its program.

 

 

"This is really near and dear to my heart.

I just want to change how people think about being kind.

A lot of people associate it with being weak.

But I think you have to be really strong to be kind and respectful."

--Kevin Durant

 

We thank the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation

for selecting Aim High to receive a grant.

 

We are so grateful to KIND

for donating $1 million to the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation

to create specialized education and after-school programming

for at-risk youth to teach them how to be

STRONG & KIND.

 

What a blessing!

 



New Skill for Jamarie

Jamarie

is learning how to do a giant on bars.
Coach Jennifer is working with her.

Summer is the time to learn and perfect new skills!
Competition season is coming!

Strong and Kind

This week we are teaching our kids

"to have the courage to be kind when others may not."

We are looking at the example of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

He stood up for others.



Thank you, Kevin Durant,

for choosing Aim High Academy!

Bittersweet Friday

Friday, July 25, was a bittersweet day at Aim High.

Kiona walked into her first gymnastics class at Aim High in the fall of 2007.

Friday was her last day at Aim High, as her family is moving to Georgia.

The past 7 years, we have witnessed Kiona gain confidence, grow in faith,

become the Level 7 State All-Around Champion

and place 4th All-Around out of 7 states at Regionals.

She has been a leader and a true joy to coach.

She will always be loved by her Aim High family

and we rejoice knowing her family will all be reunited due to this move.

We know God has great plans for Kiona.

Please help us in changing more lives.

Our girls were anticipating learning new skills

and meeting Nadia Comaneci!

With Paul Ziert!

Olympic Torch!

Having a peek at Nadia's office!





Camp was great!

The girls learned new skills and enjoyed the interaction

with so many great coaches.

AND

they managed to have lots of fun in their free time:

AHA with OU football players Dionte Savage and Joe Mixon!
 

 

 

In addition to learning new gymnastics skills,

meeting and working with great gymnastics coaches,

developing their relationships with Coaches Elizabeth and Jennifer,

and having loads of fun,

attending camp together will help the girls to bond as a team,

develop their social skills,

grow in confidence and self-respect,

and grow in character.

 

We are thankful our girls were able to have such a wonderful experience!
