About:
Middle Country Varsity Gymnastics is a public high school varsity team, which is made up of girls from 4 different schools within the district. The team is open up to girls grades 7-12, from the 4 different buildings within the district. For the 2018-2019 school year we had 16 girls on the team, 15 of them which competed throughout the season. The level of gymnastics differs between each gymnast, from beginner to accomplishing being a representative on the state team.
Each year, the team participates in cleaning up the beaches that they use the most. Instead of working hard in the gym, they worked hard on the beach, cleaning up the garbage left behind from the beautiful summer season. The gymnasts, and their parents and family, collected numerous amounts of garbage along the beach, dunes and jetties of Cedar Beach. The most memorable moment of the day was a group of fisherman coming up to the girls thanking them for their help and clean up. The girls felt good knowing that their hard work was recognized.
