Development Center.’ This will provide
coaches’ training for several of our
programs from preschool gymnastics
through competitive gymnastics,
cheerleading, and trampoline. Safety
and being ‘cutting edge’ are our main
priorities when it comes to curriculum
and our facility as a whole.”
The most recent addition to Sonshine
Academy is Ninja, which has been a
sensation. “Our staff is incredible about
working with kids who have a lot of
energy. Not only do the kids have an
outlet, they also learn self-control. Ninja
classes are gaining popularity around the
country, but we took it a step further and
invested in a ninja obstacle course like the
ones shown on American Ninja Warrior…
This really sets our program apart.”
When asked what they most enjoy
about their work, Scott and Elsie Rose
say, “We love seeing children grow and
become accomplished in their respective
disciplines. More than that, we get
excited to see the kind of person they
become. Watching them learn to become
disciplined, overcome something hard,
set goals, work with a team, manage their
time and talents, work hard, fail but get
back up and try again, and the list goes
on. In addition, we love seeing former
students bring their own children to take
classes. It is so rewarding to see someone
we taught ‘back in the day’ introduce us
to their spouse and children.”
Reflecting on their years at Sonshine,
Elsie Rose and Scott say, “This has
been and continues to be an exciting
adventure. Our thanks must go to our
Heavenly Father, who indeed kept
His promise to us and continues to
do so. We are nothing without Him.
Second, again we must acknowledge
the wonderful staff that has been such
a part of making Sonshine Academy
what it is today. They are a beautiful
mosaic of talents and treasures. Next,
we must bless and thank our children.
They grew up at Sonshine, and we
know they shared their parents with
lots of other children. They are amazing
young adults, and we love them greatly.
Last, we thank each of you for sharing
your children with us. They are all
treasures, and we consider it a privilege
to be a part of their lives.”
“We look forward to the years ahead
with confident anticipation in God’s
faithfulness and goodness. We are
excited about what He has in store for
Sonshine Academy in the future. It has
been, and we are sure it will continue to
be, a wild and wonderful adventure!”
