Just a reminder to everyone testing on Saturday, Feb. 23, to please arrive 10 minutes early for your test wearing your full uniform — jacket, pants, t-shirt. (more…)

As a reminder, there is no School next Monday, January 21 (Martin Luther King Day), and also no After School Program. Evening classes will be taking place as normal and you’re more than welcome to come take class.

Little Kickers (age: 5-7)
5:00-5:30pm

Juniors (age: 8-13)
5:30-6:00pm

Junior Leadership (Bo staff)
6-6:30pm

Full Time and Part Time Students:
**Next Wednesday, 23rd, we have a “half” day of School. We have an opportunity to go over to Jump Around Gymnastics here in town. If you would like your child to participate at Jump Around, it will cost $3 per person and you will need to sign a risk waiver and turn it in ASAP so we have an accurate head count.

If you are Part Time and Wednesday does not fall on your regular date of attendance and would like to attend next Wednesday’s half day, you can add this day for $32 per person.

Thank you!

Hope everyone continues to have a great holiday. I also hope you have enjoyed the piles of snow!

We are open the rest of this week for regular classes. We are closed on December 31 and on January 1.

After New Year’s we’re back to normal from that point on. See you all in class!

The “Spirit” jar is full! The Spirit jar is what A+ After School students have been filling with a colored gem when their card is blue or green. Now that the jar is full, the reward is here!

A movie and snacks the reward for all A+ After School students (full- or part-time) on Friday, Dec. 7. There is a sign up sheet on the counter, please fill in your child’s name and either “YES” or “NO” for if your child will attend. Thank you!

When: Friday, December 7, 2012
Where: MPK
Time: Right after school (3:30 – 5:30)
Pickup: 5:30 for everyone (little kickers and juniors)

This is the schedule for this week’s testing and graduation (Oct 15-18). If you are not testing this week you may still attend class with your regular belt rank group. Please keep in mind we have split the groups by rank — not by age — for testing. Students may schedule make-up time on Tuesday by contacting Mr. Armstrong or Mrs. Taylor ahead of time.

Please be on time for your test and be in full uniform. Test fees and permission slips are due before graduation of Thursday.

Just a couple things to note as we get back into the flow of fall and the start of the school year. Classes have been busy and energetic here at the studio as we are preparing for testing which is less than a month away — October 15th through the 18th are final evaluations with graduation on Thursday the 19th. Please make room on your calendars for this week and be sure you have all your classes in. You need a minimum of 40 to graduate to your next belt. Red belts need 80.

Saturday the 29th of September WE WILL NOT HAVE CLASS. Our Black Belt Team will be in Minneapolis for a training seminar. This will be an awesome trip and we hope to bring back some great information to add to our program.

The last note for the day has to do with the waiting area. Please try and keep noise to a minimum as well as monitor small siblings. Due to the acoustics in the studio, it can be very noisy and that makes it difficult for students to hear instructions. Your instructors will really appreciate your cooperation. Thanks!
