    WAG Update: tomorrow is her last day (Perthes disease)

    So very sorry to read this! I hope she soon finds something to bring those smiles back! On a side note, she clearly meets the criteria for 504 accommodations at school. Talk with your administrators about it. Under 504, she qualifies for accommodated seating, at the district's cost (at...

    Parents Any gymnastics parents who are also coaches?

    I coached my dd at a small program. No issues for us, I had been a part time coach before she was even born. She and I had no issues in the gym, and never "brought gym home" with us. By 5th grade she "tried" another sport and by 7th grade she had completely transitioned to this new sport...
