Academic Achievement
As School is ending for the Summer Break, please let us know about our Academic Achievers. We like to recognize our Outstanding Students, especially when they perform as well in Academics as they do in the Do Jang. So, as the school year wraps up, and you see those Great grades coming in, or you see marked improvement in your child’s academic performance throughout the year, please let us know and we will recognize their Academic Achievement, including Homeschoolers, at the Annual Picnic.
If you have a Graduating Senior, let us know what their next step is, and we will include that in their recognition.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is the day to remember, with honor and appreciation, all those who served and died for our Country and our Freedom. May your day, and your weekend, be filled with Peace and Gratitude!
Did you know? Memorial Day began as Decoration on May 30, 1868, following the Civil War. By 1873 it was adopted as a National Holiday. The two World Wars brought about the name change and anchored the Holiday Observance to the last Monday of May.
