All That Kids Program Instructors
|
Kim Scholtz, Director of Kid's Gym Program
Kim holds certifications in Group Fitness from AFAA (Aerobics & Fitness Association of America) and
NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association). She has a Heart Saver CPR Certification from the
American Heart Association and has taken several AFAA continuing education workshops including
"Children's Fitness" and "Kids in Motion".
As a fitness professional for adults since 1997, Kim was approached in 2002 by the Newburyport
Montessori School to take over the Physical Education Program for their Elementary School...that is where
she found her passion! Since then, she has gone on to teach Physical Education, not only for elementary
age students, but for Kindergarten and Pre-School as well.
Kim's philosophy? She is NOT a coach or a competitor. She IS a fitness enthusiast and a 10-year old
trapped in the body of a 30 (something) year old. She loves to play. Her most important goal for the kids
is cardiovascular conditioning. "Kids should run, run, run and have fun doing it". These activities also
reinforce teamwork, good sportsmanship, following directions and rules - all while having a good time!
Vikki Montisanti, Tumble Instructor, Preschool & Beginners of all ages
Vikki is a 1987 Graduate from Triton Regional High School. She began taking gymnastics at the age of 4

Congress Training Seminar in 2000 and is the process of getting re certified in both. Vikki is USASF level
4 certified, USAGF, First Aid and CPR certified

the gym's tumbling program!
Jacqueline Morel, Mini Level 1 All Star Coach Birthday Parties and Kid's Gym
Jacqueline is a first grade teacher that graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelors
Degree in Family Studies/Education minor, and is currently working on her Masters in Education at
Merrimack College. She is AFAA (Aerobics Fitness Association of America) Certified in Group Fitness,
and Heart Saver CPR Certified from the American Heart Association.
Jacqueline cheered for Pop Warner for 7 years, High School for 4 years, and cheered at UNH in 2001 when
they won the National Title in the small coed division. She was a dancer for 10 years, as well as a Junior
Instructor for 4, and is currently coaching a Junior High team which is very fun!
Jacqueline loves to stay active and feels her positive energy will rub off onto the children. She feels it is
essential for young children to stay active and have fun while they are doing so; that physical activity for
young children helps them grow to be healthy physically as well as mentally. "Strong bodies, strong
minds!"
