Last Sunday, the Vineyard Tennis Center (VTC) Workout and Spa hosted the Alexandra M. Gagnon's seventh grade girls "do it for yourself" day. The girls spent the afternoon learning how to be healthy while relaxing at the same time. The girls were treated to hair styling, massages, makeovers, and exercise tips. They even had the chance to do a kickboxing class and get healthy cooking advice. VTC also hosted a "Day of Health and Fitness" on March 17 for eighth-grade boys.
