HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ANASTASIA!
We had so much fun celebrating your birthday here at Neutral Grounds!
Check out our latest party review:

"Oh my gosh- that was most likely the best birthday party the kids have ever had! The adults also enjoyed it by watching the kids have so much fun. Coach Bobby is amazing... I did almost nothing which is very unusual for me. Lillian was still talking about it for 2 days and from what her friends’ parents told me, their kids talked about it afterwards too! Thank you so much!"--Michelle M.

Please remember that we are a Peanut and Tree Nut Free school.

Close contact with someone who has peanuts or tree nuts on their hands or mouth before class has the potential to affect our allergic students.

Please refrain from bringing such snacks into the academy. Our students who are severely allergic to all nuts thank you!
