Twenty-two Bayview Avenue School fourth-graders presented an energized gymnastics showcase that displayed their high level of practiced skill, much to the enjoyment of their schoolmates and visiting guests.
After each segment was introduced in both English and Spanish, the gymnasts enthusiastically performed their choreographed routines to music on the gym floor mats. The program included warm-up stretches, bounding cartwheels, forward rolls, tripod headstand rolls, front handsprings and vaulting. The gymnasts also had their chance to demonstrate some of their favorite freestyle moves for the cheering crowd.
Gym teacher Charles Gilreath has been coaching the students through their gymnastics drills since September. Gilreath coordinated the event with art teacher Laurie Kolodny.
