Some notes about things going on in December…
Ninja Afternoon
Our last Ninja Night of 2015 will be a Ninja Afternoon on Saturday, Dec. 19 from 1 – 4pm. This is a great opportunity to drop the kids off while you finish your last minute shopping. Since it’s the middle of the afternoon, we won’t be having pizza, but we’ll be doing cookie decorating and crafts, karate games, and a movie. All school age kids are welcome, and the price is the same as previous events — $20 for the first child and $15 for buddies. We still have plenty of room, but it will start to fill up quickly this week.
Our Ninja Events from October, November, and December will benefit the Blessings in a Backpack program, and we’ll be making that donation the week after the Dec 19 event. Thanks to all of you who have participated!
Test Week
Our next colored belt test event will be the week of December 14-18 with graduation for both A+ After School and Evening students on Friday night, Dec 18 at 6pm. Students eligible to test (have all classes and curriculum stripes) will get their permission slips this week, and those need to be returned on or before the first day of testing. Test fee information is at the top of the permission slip. We’ll send a separate email shortly with the schedule for testing and classes for that week.
Clothing Orders
Our orders were placed for the MPK logo gear, and we’ll have them in plenty of time for gift giving. We don’t know who placed orders that will be gifts, so our plan is to hand out the orders to parents only. If you placed an order for another adult and don’t want them to know, please let us know so we don’t give it to that person.
Super Sunday
We’ll have one last Super Sunday for 2015 for Black Belt candidates on Sunday, Dec. 20 from 9:30 – 11am. This is a great opportunity to get some extra training in if you’re on track or make up some Super classes if you’re behind. First Degree Candidates testing in January are encouraged to attend as many Super Saturdays and Super Sundays as possible before testing. Super Saturdays for December are on the 5th and 12th.
