Grade 10 Valleyview secondary student Kaleigh Gnoato is fighting against the Thompson-Okanagan Zone notice of motion that aims to have gymnastics nixed.

She spoke to Kamloops Last Week on Wednesday. Find the interview here at the 34:06 mark.

KLW also recognized two BCSS award winners from Kamloops — Annemarie Watts, a phys-ed teacher at Valleyview secondary, and Jody Vosper, athletics director at Sa-Hali secondary.

They were interviewed in KLW 90 at the 44:30 mark about the awards. They also offered opinions on gymnastics potentially going the way of the dodo in BCSS.
