Hello students and parents! Fall season is upon us! As we move into September, our children are ramping up for that first day of the school year! Students are reminded to take time to practice their skills at home. Coming to class should be time for refinement and learning; time at homes should be for repetition, remembering, and building good habits. It is important to balance academics and school activities appropriately with your martial arts practice.
The following are some important 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 in the school for class plans, announcements, and schedules.
Encourage your student(s) to know dates important to them so they are able to set goals appropriate to their progress. Seasonal curriculum for Tang Soo Do including dates for important classes are posted on the whiteboard by the front desk as well!
