November News & Notes

Posted on November 17, 2015

As we roll through November, here are a few quick reminders for upcoming events and information:

MPK Logo Gear – The webstore for MPK logo gear is up and accepting orders. Here is the link: https://mpk2015.itemorder.com/ You can order right there online, but if you need help, just see us at the front desk. The store will be closing on November 29, so get your orders in soon. (The webstore says it will be open into December, but that is a misprint.)

Thanksgiving Schedule

  • We will be open the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving (November 25). There will not be regular classes, but we will have an open gym from 5 – 7pm for those of you wanting to come and work on your cards. There will be Black Belts available for assistance, but it won’t be a structured class, so come with a plan.
  • We will also have an open gym on Saturday, November 28, from 9-10:30am. There will be no Hyper or regular classes that day, but anyone wanting to work with their Nunchucks or card information can come to open gym. Total Fitness Training will be at the normal 8:00 time.

Ninja Night this Friday night is pretty full. We might be able to add a couple more kids, but we’re very close to the maximum. The money we make from Ninja Night will go to benefit Blessing in a Backpack, a great charity operating through the local schools that helps people in need of a meal. Please see us at the desk to check on any available space if you still want to register for Ninja Night.

Food Pantry Collection – Our front window is filling up with food donations — thank you to all who contributed! We’ll be collecting items until this Friday, November 20, so there’s still time if you want to bring something in. If you have a friend who would like to try karate, we’re also running a great special through the end of the week — new students can get a month of karate at no cost if they bring in a bag of groceries.

Super Sunday for Black Belt Candidates will be this Sunday, November 22 from 9:30-11am.

Lost and Found …
<shoesWe had a pair of girls’ shoes taken from the shoe rack last week that we’re trying to track down. They are size 2 Sketchers S Sport shoes (pictured), but in pink, purple, and blue. We think someone picked them up mistakenly, so if you find them, please let us know.

We have a large house key on a black lanyard at the front desk if you’re missing one. It was left on the shoe rack last Wednesday or Thursday.

We still have a collection of sweatshirts and jackets that haven’t found their owners. If you think you or your child might have left one, please check the hooks near the front desk and the lost and found bin by the door.

We have a Jawbone and Pedometer that have been here for quite a while.

Still have a pair of wire rim glasses, likely a child’s, that has been here for several weeks.
