“BACK TO SCHOOL”
RISE AND SHINE & WELCOME BACK!
It’s that time of year already...back to school. We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and would like to welcome you all back to the dojo for the start of a new and exciting year!
It’s time to plan for the upcoming year.
IF YOU PLAN TO SUCCEED – YOU WILL SUCCEED.
IF YOU PLAN TO FAIL – YOU WILL FAIL.
It’s been a hot, hot, hot, Fantastic, Samurai Summer. During the summer, we had:
- Some of our classes at the beach, & at grief point school field and the change of scenery made it lot of fun for all.
- Super soaker Days, which were a BLAST (literally).
- Summer Camp in Vernon and everyone who attended had a great time/did not melt and returned home in one piece;
- Gladiator Days – the kids had fun in class doing battle with opposing gladiators!
- Dojo Sleepover/Movie Night was a great success the kids watched 3 movies and had fun well into the night.
WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE OUR SAMURAI WARRIOR KYLEA MASTERS
All throughout the summer, Kylea attended class twice (2X) per day AND also stayed after class to help Sensei Clayton. In honour of Samurai Warrior Kylea, we will be presenting her with a special Samurai Sword
