A Helping Hand for an MPK Family

Posted on August 26, 2016

From the Desk of Mr. Armstrong:

On Friday, September 2, five-year-old Maddie Feldman will have surgery to remove a tumor from her brain. Midwest Professional Karate is organizing meals for the family. Maddie and her sister Aubrey are both students at MPK. You can sign up below through SignUp Genius to help support the family by providing meals.

You may drop off the meals at MPK Monday-Thursday 2:30-7pm; Friday 2:30-5:30pm, or Saturday 8:30-11am. MPK will transport the meals to the family.

Items such as food or gas gift cards are welcome and MPK will gladly deliver those as well. Thank you.

Pickup Location for A+ Middle School Students

Posted on August 26, 2016

Quick note for our A+ After School students at the Middle School. The MPK van will pick up after school students on the corner of Southbound/Yorktown (where the Middle School announcements sign is located).

If your child will not be on the MPK van on certain day when they are scheduled to, please call/email me to let us know so the driver isn’t waiting for them.

Thank you!

Notes for June

Posted on June 1, 2016

Just a few quick notes for June:

On Wednesday, June 1, we will be testing about 20 students in the A+ After School Program. Testing will begin around 3:35 and will hopefully be done around 5:00. We may run past 5:00 so if you are attending the Little Kickers class at 5:00 we will have those students head down to the red mats for their class.

Parents train FREE FOR JUNE! This is an awesome opportunity to try any of programs for the whole month of JUNE! Martial arts classes with (or with out) your kids, as well as Total Fitness Training our kick boxing class. Just stop at the front desk and tell them Mr. A sent you.

Yard sign campaign. We are currently trying a yard sign campaign to spread the word about our program. We have 8 signs and each week we will have them available for you to take home and post in your yard. At the end of the week just bring back your sign and we will send it out to a new family to host for 1 week. Last week we had all the signs checked out within 10 minutes!

See you all in class!
