Picking her up on Thursdays and seeing her excitement over their latest creation has really been one of the highlights of my week.
Thank you again for the great season. My son says he would like to run in the spring (and summer!). We’re glad he found something he likes to do.

My son has gained a lot of confidence and enjoys running, thanks to this program. We are very grateful to you and Don for offering this opportunity to the kids. Thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much for a great season! My student enjoyed the program so much, he is really motivated to continue running.
Thanks Coach Debra for these photos; and thank you for the entire season where you have been an amazing coach/mentor and friend to our kids.
I wanted to reach out to let you know that we have really enjoyed our experience in the gymnastics class at Otis and would love to see it offered again. The teacher was incredibly experienced and worked really well with the energy of the kids (my son has a lot of it). Her class has been a highlight for my son’s week and I’m sad to see it end tomorrow. Thanks for providing these enrichment opportunities to the Otis community!
Thank you for hosting a fabulous meet. My student’s team had a blast on the very scenic course.
Thanks so much for your dedication! Love the character building and fitness for my student.
Your program is amazing! Thanks for showing these kids all the fun of XC!!! I appreciate that you do all that on top of coaching the kids, organizing the meets, and figuring out the carpool. My son has gained a lot of confidence and enjoys running, thanks to this program. We are very grateful to you and Don for offering this opportunity to the kids. Thank you so much.
