The folks at CrossFit-Springfield are excited to have our Summit students at their gym for a special P.E. experience on Friday, September 23 at their facility near Sunset and Kansas Expressway. Summit students might remember Mr. Grant, Ms. Melissa, Mr. Jeremy, and Ms. Kristy who visited our school several times last year to lead the students through CrossFit exercises. This year we have the great opportunity to go to their gym and get the full experience of fun and challenging exercise using their space and equipment. It’s not your typical gym with machines and an aerobics room, but rather a large “Box” filled with mats, bars, rings, boxes, and various free weights. Students will work with Summit parents and CrossFit co-owners Grant and Melissa Wistrom as well as Jeremy Mhire, a co-owner and CrossFit trainer, on drills and techniques that provide a base for life-long fitness. Please be sure to return the waiver to your student’s teacher by next Friday, September 16. To get more acquainted with CrossFit, here is a link to their website:
