Thanks again for a great time on Saturday night! We hope to make next year bigger and better!
Many of you know I use to have a CrossFit gym in San Diego. One of the original members from that gym, Demi Brown, set out on a mission last year. Her goal was to open a charter school in San Diego that bases their curriculum around CrossFit. Just last week they were granted conditional approval for the school! Empower Charter School is scheduled to open in fall 2014 and serve students in kindergarten to Grade 6.
I will always hold Demi in high regard, not only is she one of the most genuine and nicest people I have met, she was an original member at my first CrossFit gym and helped me land a P.E. job in SD when I had no connections. She was a huge part of my experience in SD. Now I could not be more excited for her and the impact she will make in children’s lives with Empower Charter School.
A school based around CrossFit! How freaking cool is that! Check out their website Empower Charter School.
They also have a full write up in the CrossFit Journal- Check it out- Fran to Teach Phys Ed
