BIG MONTH AT ATA WC

It's official! Mr. Jouan and Miss Boulden are finally MARRIED! Miss Boulden is now known as Mrs. Jouan. The outside ceremony happened in Newark, Delaware on Saturday, July 31st. It was beautiful. After the Wedding, the newlyweds went on a Mediterranean cruise. While they were absent, ATA West Chester had a special guest --Mr. Jason Morgan! Mr. Morgan trained with the students for 2 weeks and made sure everyone was having a great time training hard in class and getting their 3rd stripes. The students loved him! Mr. Morgan could not have done it without the help of Ms. Gladson, Mrs. Ciarlello and the other trainee instructors & junior leaders.
Belt Promotions was right around the corner when Mr. & (now) Mrs. Jouan returned. On August 28th, over 130 students advanced for new ranks. The highest rank at ATA West Chester is now a red belt decided. Also at Belt Promotion, Ms. Gladson & Ms. Curry successfully advanced in their instructor collar rank to a red/black collar. This means that they are now a step closer to being certified instructors. Mr. & Mrs. Jouan are super proud of everyone! Keep up the hard work!
