Here is a quick update on some dates to keep in mind:

• Super Sunday, September 24 (from 5-6:30 pm) — for Black Belts and Black Belt Candidates of all ages.
• Promotion Test on Saturday, October 21 — for students testing for Gold Stripe through Brown Stripe who have met their class and stripe requirements. If you need to earn some stripes, be sure to sign up for a Saturday morning test slot on the blackboard.

Also, for those of you looking for the forms videos on our website, the videos are back up and running. We have Pal-Gwe 1-6 available.

Thanks, see you soon in class!

Hope you enjoyed a great Fourth of July! Remember, there are no classes on Wednesday the 5th. But we’re back to normal on Thursday, July 6.

See you then!

Tuition and Agreements – Just a reminder that the tuition rate increase went into effect on June 1. Along with the rate change, we need to update every member’s agreement, so if you haven’t stopped in to take care of this, please see us at the front desk. We’ve had a few families who dropped off checks at the old rates – you can stop in next time you’re here, or we’ll get in touch to reconcile.

• If you normally pay on the first of the month, the agreement should be updated with your payment in the next few days.
• If you normally pay on the 15th, you have a couple of weeks yet.
• If you are paid in full, you will update your agreement at the expiration date.

Are you missing these? We had a couple of items left here last week that someone is probably looking for. If either of these are yours, you can pick them up at the front desk.

• A pair of yellow and black child-sized glasses
• A red accented Razor scooter with a blue spiked helmet

Kick-a-Thon – Our fundraiser Kick-a-Thon is coming up on Monday, June 5 — 4pm for A+ After School students and 5:30pm for evening students. There is still time to raise money if you haven’t met your goal yet, and boards are available at the front desk if you haven’t gotten yours. Be sure to invite the people who contributed down to watch you break your board!

Belt Promotion Testing – on Wednesday, June 14, there will be no regular classes while we hold belt testing for students at all levels who have met their class and stripe requirements. Testing for Little Kickers will begin at 5pm and Junior and Adults all levels will begin at 5:30pm. Blue, Red, and Brown Belts – remember to bring your sparring gear.

Super Sunday – Black Belt training will be held June 18 from 5-6:30 pm for Second Degree candidates and adult First Degree candidates

Morning Classes – Tuesday and Thursday morning classes begin on June 20 and will run from 9-9:45am. All ages and ranks are welcome – this is a great opportunity to get some extra training time in.

A+ After School Registration – If you’re planning to enroll your child for the 2017-18 school year, our early registration period and discounted rates run through the end of June. If you’d like additional information, you can see Melinda Huber or the front desk staff.

T-shirt Time – Just in time for the warmer weather, you can begin wearing karate T-shirts to class now through September 1. We have a variety of sizes and colors available if you need to buy one.

Have a great day!
