I want to thank you for the article in Globe South on May 20 about the morning gym program (“Kids are toning up, tuning in”).

From the first time Lori Tobin suggested the idea to me, I knew it would be a success. It is one of those programs that I didn’t realize we needed until someone started it. I think Johanna Seltz really captured the feel and excitement of the program, and the photographs conveyed how much fun everyone who participates has. Many adults start their day at the gym; now we can give our students the same opportunity.
