Uniform Stitching

Posted on September 22, 2018

Hey MPK Families, 2e’ll be sending a batch of uniforms out for stitching this week, so if any of you have a red and black or white and black team uniform that still needs the chest stitching on the top, please drop it at the studio by Wednesday evening. Please also make sure uniforms are labeled with the student’s name so we get them all back to the right people.

If your student doesn’t have another top while this one is out, they can wear their karate t-shirts to class until we get these back.

Thanks,
Jeni Risgaard, Front Desk Coordinator

Please check for shoes…

Posted on September 18, 2018

If you or your kids were in class Monday night (9/17), can you please check if someone accidentally grabbed the wrong shoes on the way out? We’re missing a pair of pink flip flops with silver accents in size 2.

With all the activity in the studio with school starting, it’s a good time to remind everyone to check shoes carefully — a lot of them look very similar and can be mistaken if you don’t look closely.

If you do find the missing flip flops, please drop them off at the desk and we’ll get them back to the right person.

Thanks everyone!
