Valentine's Day Parent's Night Out

Saturday, February 14th was our first Parent's Night Out. It was such a success! We had 15 children arrive at 5:00PM and stay until 9:00PM. We worked out, played games, ate pizza, watched Kung-Fu Panda, and so much more. Everyone's favorite part was at the end of the night when we did Paper Breaks. That is when we used our martial arts techniques that we had practiced all night to break paper. Many of the kids were very surprised with their ability and power! We cannot wait for the next Parent's Night Out when we celebrate the end of the school year.

Electricity!!

Today was the first day that our electricity worked!!! We solved the 3 week mystery and it was officially turned on. Once the electricity worked, we did some more cleaning and set up a small area in the front of the school where potential students and their families can learn more about ATA Martial Arts and take an introductory lesson if they wish.

We also went to West Goshen today and introduced ourselves to the stores in a local shopping center. We scheduled a book reading of the Kung Fu Panda books for Wednesday December 17th at 10:30 at Chester County Books & Music. The ladies who worked there were very welcoming. ATA Martial Arts of West Chester has also volunteered to ring the bell for the Salvation Army on Saturday December 6th from 2 until 4 at the Bradford Acme.

Today we took a trip to the West Chester Post Office and finally got the key to our mailbox on site at Bradford Plaza. We can officially receive mail at our 658 Downingtown Pike address. How exciting!!
