Perkins Student Wins Medals

Ms. Catherine Bright wins big at gymnastics meet!!

Gymnastics is an Olympic sport that originates back to 1896 in ancient Greece.  This  nimble sport that continues to grow in popularity today remains one of the most popular events of the Summer Games.  Children of all ages compete and show their strength, speed and flexibility, along with elegance and style. Our very own Cate Bright attended a gymnastics competition called the Judges Cup, in North Liberty, Iowa. She won 4-gold medals in bars, beam, floor, and all around, and one bronze medal in vault. Mr. Koss asked her, “Did you leave any medals for anyone else to win?” Congratulations Cate!  “Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” – Newt Gingrich
