Walls

We are almost in the home stretch! This weekend was filled with spackling, sanding, spackling, sanding, and then more spackling. Thanks to the help of many great friends, we prepped the walls for paint this week. The colors we chose are called dark granite, anonymous, and silver dust. They are going to complement each other wonderfully.

This upcoming week is not only filled with getting fresh paint on the walls, but with many appointments, counter installation, daycare visits, and a book reading at Chester County Books & Music Wednesday at 10:00AM. We hope you are able to visit then!

Getting To Know The Community

Along with enrolling and meeting new students, we have done many other activities to get to know the community better. We have even given back to the community in ways such as ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. We stood outside the East Bradford Acme for a couple of hours this Saturday. Although it was very cold outside, it was wonderful to see the community be so generous to such a great cause! Also, we are scheduled to read at the West Chester County Public Library this Tuesday at 1:00. We are so excited to team up with such wonderful organizations.

ATA Martial Arts has also gone through many buildout phases too. We got our rough wiring inspection completed and passed on Friday. We will soon be able to begin putting up the rest of the drywall, tile, install the counters and paint. January 2nd, our official grand opening date, is only right around the corner! We will have everyone's first class as well as uniform fittings that Friday as well as Saturday. We have already started to receive sponsors, like Brothers Pizza, who will help by donating refreshments that day! Hope to see you there.
