At the High School, the weightlifting club meets multiple days each week utilizing both the weight room and gym to accommodate large numbers of students at each meeting. Students are taught foundational bodyweight and barbell exercises with a focus on form and safety. Club leaders Ashley Gold and Chris App cycle upwards of 40 students through warm-ups, main lifts and “WODS” (workout of the day) during each meeting.
At the elementary school, the 21st CCLC students have been working on an art project featuring influential Black people. Great work!
