Character Development Program on STEROIDS (Still Going)
This new testing cycle which runs now until the June Quarterly Testing, we will be offering students a chance to earn EXTRA stripes. As mentioned during the Promotion Ceremonies last month, anyone who doubles their character stripes (red and blue stripes) will earn a cool recognition in June. We want to see EVERYONE go ABOVE and BEYOND. As future Black Belts, just enough is never enough, we strive to always GO ABOVE and BEYOND.
Also, Every 2 weeks, we will select one of our Character Worksheets to be worth DOUBLE stripes. So pay attention in class so you can hit the Jackpot!
You can find more details about our Character Development Program here : Character Development at Crabapple Martial Arts Academy
Finally, Students may earn EXTRA SPECIAL stripes. Here is how:
- If Student’s Family leaves a 5 Star Review (Parents, Grand Parents, Aunts and Uncles) – 50 Stripes (Max – 4)
- If a Student’s Teacher leaves a 5 Star Review – 100 Stripes (Max – 2)
Leave Your Review Here: LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW
