Exciting News for January 2011

We hope your Christmas & New Year were as exciting as ours!  But, the holidays are over now and it’s time to start off the new year right.  We have some new things happening this year that you don’t want to miss.  Read the entire newsletter to find out more!

This month we start our Ticket Contest.  Students will earn tickets during the months of January, February & March each time they do something extra at the school.  In January, tickets can be earned by bringing a friend to class (Jan. 3-6), bringing a friend to the mass intro (Jan. 8), if their friend enrolls after the intro, for wearing a hat to class (Jan. 10-13), for attending the Parent’s Night Out, bring a friend to parent’s night out (Jan. 13), for attending the free Child Safety Course, bringing a friend to the safety course (Jan. 22), and for trying out for the Dunamis Karate Demo Team (Jan. 30).  There will be other ways to earn tickets in Feb. & March.  At the end of March we will draw for various prizes including gift certificates, patches, Hyper T-shirt/DVD, and MORE!

We are excited to introduce a new Character Development Program for all students called the Personal Achievement Academy.  Every month students will receive a Personal Achievement Academy handout.  This is an incredible tool for educating the entire family on important Life Skills.  The hand out has 4 weekly lessons and cool missions for the students to do.  These missions are the key to helping students develop positive life changing success habits.  They are fun and students will earn points for each mission they accomplish.  Students earning 150 points or more will get a stripe on their belt.  The hands outs should be returned during the last week of the month.
