President: Scott Gehres
Email: [email protected] My wife, Jaime, and I have two amazing children, Jordyn (9th grade) and Cody (12th grade). My son goes to school at Hempfield, and my daughter is enrolled in Commonwealth Charter Academy. Jordyn is a Level 8 gymnast this year, and she also coaches/teaches younger gymnasts at Prestige. Cody is a two-sport athlete (football and track and field). I am a third-grade teacher at Manheim Township, and my wife is a middle school teacher at Penn Manor. My wife and I chair the Hershey Candy Bar and Chicken BBQ fundraisers. Fundraising is very important to my family, because without it, Jordyn would be unable to pursue the sport that she loves so dearly. Being on the board is my way of giving back to this wonderful organization. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, hunting, watching my children play sports, and watching sports on television (Penn State football, Philadelphia Eagles, and Philadelphia Phillies). |

Treasurer: Sarah VanderPlate
Email: [email protected] Hi! My name is Sarah VanderPlate, and Prestige is truly my second home. I was on the team at Prestige as a kid through Level 9, so it's really a full circle thing to be back with my own kids! In addition to serving as the treasurer, I also teach preschool classes at the gym several times a week. My daughter, Emma, is a Level 9 training Hopes, and my son, Colson, just joined the boys team this year. We have three other kiddos, and when we aren't at the gym, you can find us hiking, camping, boating, working on our chicken farm, or playing games together! I'm looking forward to working with all of you this year! |

Boys' Team Member At Large: Val Kurtz

My family and I have been at Prestige since my oldest son, Gavin, started gymnastics in 2010. He competed on the boys' team until 2019 and is now focusing on soccer. He is 13 years old and will be in 8th grade next year. My youngest son, Greyson, started gymnastics in 2013. He is 9 years old and heading into 4th grade next year. He plans to compete Level 7 this upcoming season, and he plays soccer as well. When we aren't in the gym, you can probably find all of us on the soccer field. I've coached soccer for many years and play in various adult leagues. My husband, Chris, supports all of us in both sports. I worked as a physical therapist assistant for thirteen years before becoming a Hempfield substitute teacher this past year. I also enjoy working open gyms at Prestige as well as helping out wherever extra help is needed.
