Come Workout at Barre3 and Support Root
Barre3 is teaming up with the Root PTA for a 2 classes for $20 promotion.
Look for your voucher in Tuesday folders in the coming weeks. K-1st grade
students will bring their voucher home this week, 2-3rd grade students will
follow a few weeks later and then 4-5th grade students a couple of weeks
after that. For every voucher used, Barre3 will donate $10 to Root. If you
haven't tried Barre3 or if you are a regular, now is the time to go and get
ready for swimsuit season! Barre3 workouts (think ballet barre meets yoga
and pilates) are designed to transform the body to one of equal balance,
strength and flexibility.
