The following are some important items and dates to remember. Each announcement is tagged with a program to help our members know which items are most important to them. Don't forget to check our Class Schedule as well as the Band app and the whiteboards in the school for announcements and schedules.

Congratulations to those that completed the tang soo do black belt pretest on April 22nd! We had a great turnout with a lot of sweat, some tears, thankfully no blood (other than mine), and amazing guests from Omaha Tang Soo Do!

Students and parents: We are currently getting ready to switch away from BAND, Kicksite, and PayPal. We will be using the Spark Membership product to manage the school starting with summer season (hopefully). The idea is that we will be able to move everything into a single program - student records, invoices and memberships, communications, and payments. Until we are ready, expect to continue to get messages in BAND, Facebook, and email as in the past.

Do you like what we do? Are we providing a positive experience? Do you have questions, suggestions, or would like to offer help? If so, let us know! Contact us with your feedback! Criticism is just as important as praise as it helps us evaluate everything that we do. surge@resurgencema.com or Contact an instructor.
