What a Couple of Weeks!

Two weeks ago we had an epic Blackbelt Retreat, test and graduation!

   It was awesome, and the energy, enthusiasm and momentum coming off the weekend was palpable.

Then my team and I went for some awesome training in Colorado, and then couldn’t wait to get back and serve our students!

But then we came back to Milton…

I’m grateful that we weren’t hit harder than we were.

      But no denying it was a challenging week for all, and some more than others.

Then yesterday, we reopened the dojo with an awesome KMMA curriculum training camp.

   In this free KMMA community event, students were able to come train, get away from some of the things they were going through…

some parents were very grateful to have a positive and productive place to leave their kids so they could finish storm clean-up and such, while others were grateful to come train with their kids.

Mrs. Sarah Caldwell, KMMA Blackbelt Leadership student who’s whole family trains, and who also happens to be Vice Principal at Hammond Elementary said it was exactly what she and her girls needed.

     Many echoed the sentiment.
