This Week At Up Top (10-28-2019)

Welcome New Students

I’d like to take a minute and welcome Ashley Nafash (Adults) and Savannah Kazan (Future Champs) to the team. Ashley is looking to become a police officer and is excited to start training that may somehow benefit her out in the field. Savannah recently joined our youngest group, the future champs, and I’m happy to see some new faces in the fun class. Looking forward to working with these two in class.
