Thus, the first day we will meet with the middle school gymnasts at their home middle school campus, Ed WillkeMS orCreekview MS. For the first day of school, the students will meet in the cafeteriafor Creekview MS and in the gym for Ed Willke MS. That is where we will meet with the gymnasts to explain what will happen this school year. The second day they will meet at CTHS, where the students will report from there on out. We will not work out the first week of school; See schedule below.

The best place to enter the school is through the athletic doors at the “Cross Roads” entrance, where the school flag poles and the awnings are located. This is on the north east sideof the school facing the stadium. Each morning after training 1st period, a bus will pick them up from CTHS. It will leave no later than 8:50am, in order for the students to arrive at their home campus for their 2nd period class.
