It’s a great gig.” Jill Wigand led more than 160 girls in a dance workout during the first High Ponies session of the year on April 5 at Jasper Middle School. “Everything I do is all connected and I can do things at school that I have learned or got certified in at my gym, but I do it at school. As a health teacher at JMS, a dance teacher at Jasper High School and the middle school, and an owner and instructor at Fit Together, Jill said she often applies things she learns from one of her jobs to another. Taking her passion for working with children, Jill started High Ponies in 2012, a free dance and gymnastics clinic that focuses on self-esteem and life lessons. For the young people she mentors through coaching and community involvement, that’s a good thing.
