Building Blocks program at My Gym


It is an interactive skill and development tracking and recognition system that provides specific opportunities for our students, teachers, and parents to enjoy and celebrate the attainment of key milestones together. Children are now able to track their progress as they attain the life skills and physical ability that will help them succeed. Because success and the building of self-esteem are at the very core of the My Gym Program, it was imperative that our skills progression and awards system be all-inclusive and retain the noncompetitive and positive spirit of My Gym.

If you have need for a masonry job, I highly recommend him. Francisco Mercado can be reached at 818.448.1165.”
