January 2023 Newsletter

It seems like just yesterday it was 2022 ;) … but seriously, we are exciting to be entering a new year with each of you and look forward to the progress we can make working together toward your goals. You’re going to want to make your calendars now with these important dates so you don’t miss anything.

Here is a printable calendar you can use at home if desired!

Goodwill Tournament
February 25, 2023

Each year we look forward to participating in the Goodwill Tournament held at the Beaufort High School gymnasium. It is a friendly, safe, fun tournament that is run by Mr. Chuck Elias from Club Karate, who is Mrs. Woods' instructor.

The tournament is great for students of ALL ages and ranks - even the little Tiny Tigers! It's great because the divisions will be broken into smaller groups so each person has a greater chance of placing.

All students who competitor will receive a beautiful plaque and ribbons are awarded for the top 3 or 4 places in each division.

Tournament Prep Classes - Fridays

We will start having some "tournament prep classes" this month to help students be prepared to compete! If you would like to learn a weapon (nunchucks, bo, or sword) and are not a BBC/MC member, you can attend the Friday weapons classes for only $10 per class. Start working now to learn the skills with the weapon and a form to use in competition on Feb. 25th! REGISTER IN THE APP TO ATTEND!

The school who brings the most students will win a HUGE trophy and this year WE WANT TO WIN, so please join us in Beaufort on Feb. 25th! AND our school has also been asked to perform a demo for the opening ceremony, so we need LOTS of students to participate and help us put on a good show!

More info on tournament registration coming soon!

“Everything is Awesome”… just like the theme song in The Lego Movie.

• A great way for kids to fantasize and have FUN

• A great way for parents to be KID-FREE and chillax

If your child loves Legos, they’re going to really LOVE being a master builder at this Crazy-Cool Event where they’ll learn how to build forts, spaceships and pirate ships… fight off the greys… and take down Lord grey using different targets and body shields.
