Jackie started her gymnastics career at Stars & Stripes 12 years ago. She verbally committed to Western Michigan last spring after receiving several other offers,” said Stars & Stripes head gymnastics coach Nathan Davis. “Reaching the highest level of this sport requires extreme dedication and is quite an accomplishment alone, receiving an athletic scholarship really makes the journey all worthwhile,” adds Nathan. Emma McLean (gymnast) committed to an athletic scholarship to the University of Michigan in the middle of her sophomore year of high school. She has been a member of Stars & Stripes since we opened 12 years ago and was the first athlete from Stars &Stripes to receive an athletic scholarship,” said Stars & Stripes Team Director coach Cassie Davis. “Emma is a phenomenal athlete and has the mindset to accomplish anything she sets out to do. It has been great watching her achieve her goals and experience such success,” adds Nathan. The signing ceremony will take place at Stars & Stripes Kids Activity Center, which is located at 4630 White Lake Road Clarkston, MI 48346. Members of the coaching staffs and the signees’ parents will attend. Founded in 2002, Stars & Stripes Kids Activity Center our goal is to provide childrens educational programs through physical activity that far exceed the norm. Our programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of the children of all ages and skill levels. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel the empowerment of athletics. Our classes offer extreme physical challenges, which are great foundations for every sport. Besides the physical attributes the activities provide, they are also highly beneficial for childrens self-esteem, attitude and mental well-being. Our mission has always been to build self-esteem, strength and dreams. We provide a safe and kind training environment where the child comes first. The amazing, talented instructors at Stars & Stripes will do just that. We do not measure our success by the number of trophies on our shelves, but by the smiling faces that walk through our doors. We hope that some of the life lessons learned from gymnastics will be such things as: confidence, leadership, self-motivation, lifelong fitness knowledge and team work. Thank You for the opportunity you have given us to teach your children. It is an honor and a privilege, neither of which is taken lightly. Please enjoy your journey with us; we are extremely delighted to have you along! # # #
