Our first FIT Family Night was a great success! We had just over 200 people participate! Thank you to all the families who came last night to work out with us. We would also like to thank our staff and Towson interns, administration, Mrs. Jen Renkevens, Ms. Leah Porritt, and the PTA for their support in putting together such a fun evening--we really couldn't have done it without them! We would also like to recognize vendors from our community who supported us with their time and donations for last night's event: Fit2Order and the activity instructors, Howard County Library, Power Fit LLC, D.A.R.E. in Life Coaching, Kids First Swim School Laurel, Mrs. Kathy Woodward, Howard County Hospital, Wegmans, Whole Foods, Weis, Chick-Fil-A, and the University of Maryland College Park. Lastly, if you have not completed the survey already, we would greatly appreciate your feedback.
