Hey Team! We are on another exciting week of lessons with a focus being on agility training for our Ninja Warrior Agility Course this Saturday. We would like for everyone to participate in at least two classes this week at minimum with a goal of attending three classes. All students should have the perseverance definition memorized by the end of the week, as well as have earned their white, and yellow stripes. We have many new students and faces inside of the academy training for summer, so please be sure to introduce yourselves and welcome them into our Tiger-Rock family.

  

We had such a blast with all of our black belts last weekend at our Black Belt Camp. It was such a great bonding experience with the instructors and each and every student. We had adventures hiking 4 miles from Gorge's overlook to the bottom of the largest waterfall this side of the Rockies. It was definitely a great time to remember.  

We will have the following merit badges available this training cycle:
Skillbuilder Merit Badge:Students must balance while throwing a side kick that is at least waist level for a minimum of 45 seconds. Students cannot bounce, wobble, wiggle, or drop their kick below the waist in order to earn their merit badge.

Character Builder Merit Badge: Community Service. Students must perform five hours of community service. Please remember community is defined as "the area I live in. I choose to be a productive part of my community by practicing the tenets outside the academy." Students should document the time helping others, neighbors, church, etc., and have the appropriate adult sign off on the number of hours (not parents).

Academic Learning Stars: Please be sure to get your academic teachers to fill our your Partners-in-learning forms so you can earn your academic stars. Forms can be found at the front desk.

 Our Ninja Warrior Agility Course is coming up on June 28th. This was a huge event last summer, and will be even a bigger event this summer. Come compete in our ninja warrior course, and win prizes. Tiger Cubs: 1:30p.m., Juniors 2:30p.m., Teens and Adults 3:30p.m. Cost is $10.00.

 Parents and Students: If you or your children are competition at the Tiger-Rock World Championships in Birmingham, Alabama, please let Mr. Bailey know A.S.A.P. Furthermore, all students competing in Free Design Forms, Xtreme, or Weapons should bring their music and weapons to every class. Please make sure music is on a mp3 player.
