TEACHERS ROCK — SEPTEMBER

Our local teachers do incredible work every day. This September, we’re giving back by helping stock their classrooms with the supplies they need most.

Want to help?

• Drop off supplies at the club
• Donate from a teacher wish list

Every donation goes directly toward supporting local teachers, classrooms, and students.

Let’s fill those classrooms and show our teachers some love.

Are you ready to vote for your favorite photo? All you have to do is comment the number of the photo you like best. Please one vote per person. Voting will go through Wednesday, September 2nd and the winner will be announced end of the week. Who isn't a winner though?! This summer was AWESOME and we all had such fun adventures!

Tomorrow is September 1st. Are you ready to start jumping rope? Your challenge is just 30 seconds on the first day. Why? There are so many benefits!

It's a full-body, high-intensity workout that strengthens the heart, improves lung capacity, and enhances cardiovascular endurance.

Jump rope engages multiple muscle groups at once, including your legs, core, shoulders, and arms.

It helps build muscle, improves coordination, balance, and agility. It also burns a high number of calories in a short time, which means it’s a very effective exercise for weight management and fat loss.

It can increase bone density and joint health by encouraging strong and resilient bones through the relatively low-impact rhythmic movement.

Mentally, jumping stimulates the release of feel-good hormones, endorphins, which reduce stress and elevate mood.

It can also improve focus, rhythm, and timing.

Jumping rope contributes to better posture and body awareness, and since it requires minimal equipment and space, it’s very convenient and an affordable way to stay active almost anywhere.

Labor day is just around the corner! Share your day with us...till 2pm!

That's what we're talking about! Look at all these people who stepped up to the plate to finish our last Strava Challenge in the series- the Half Ironman! HELL YEAH!

The jump rope challenge is COMING THIS SEPTEMBER!

Jumping rope can provide a challenging cardiovascular workout while also working coordination and balance—all with very little equipment or space.

Our September challenge is designed to help you stay active and perhaps discover a fun new addition to your workouts.

Starting September 1: Jump rope for 30 seconds.

Then add 10 seconds each day throughout the month of September.

Grab a rope and give it a go!
