In order to have the even run smoothly and plan accordingly, please sign up on either your kicksite account or at the front desk. The event is open to all students. The following weekend on March 7th and 8th, we have our Tiger-Rock National Tournament in Chattanooga, TN. And on March 22nd, our Tiger-Rock Grapplers will be competing in the Warrior Cup in Knoxville, TN. It is going to be a great month to win some MEDALS! We will be working on earning our yellow and green stripes this week. If you want to do a free-design form, please bring your music to classes with you this week.

We will have the following merit badges available this training cycle:
Skillbuilder Merit Badge: A minimum of 1x per week, students should run outside a minimum of ten minutes. If the student does not have a place to run, and/or not good weather, they may stay after their training class, and complete their merit badge requirements. Parents should have dates and minutes (minimum of 60 minutes) completed when completing the merit badge by April Rank Exams.
Character Builder Merit Badge: Students should earn at least one "Let me brag on my child" achievement within the training cycle. The parent should choose exceptional behavior demonstrated by their child, and complete the "Let me brag on my child" card. Remember, what gets rewarded, gets repeated.
