What's Kickin' at the School
Student Reminder: All students are required to scan in at the beginning of each class. Students who fail to scan in will not be allowed to take class. Also, if your billing information changes (example: bank account # or credit card expiration date), please notify the office staff immediately.
Toy Drive: will be held through December 23rd. We will be accepting toys or any item of your choice to be donated to a local charity. Once again, we will incorporate the prize wheel to promote participation! Details will be announced during classes. It is simple...the more toys you donate the more spins you get on the prize wheel!
Stripe Test: will be held during the week of December 19th. Students can earn their 2nd stripe when they demonstrate that they know the 1st half of their current form. As a reminder, stripes can be earned during class at any time students are ready and not just during stripe test week. Students are encouraged to regularly practice their form at home.

Baking and Cooking During The Holidays! We discovered a local website that contains some great healthy and tasty recipes for cooking and baking during the holidays. It is maintained by Sweet Tooth Courtney (wife of a former student) whose influence is spreading nationally but still took the time to share her site with the school!
