Press Release Summary = Karate and Fitness Center in Warren Michigan honors Mother\'s by reciting Mother\'s Day Pledge and signing Parent contract.
Press Release Body = Students at Karate and Fitness Center honored their mothers during the month of May by reciting a Mother's Day pledge in the presence of their mothers and classmates. Each student then added his or her signed pledge to a display of all students' Mother's Day pledges at the school.
Denny Strecker, owner of Karate and Fitness Center said the purpose of this special ceremony was to teach students another one of the many important life lessons they learn in every class.
"That lesson is always to honor your mother, help her with chores and thank her for
allowing you to learn from and enjoy the martial arts," said Strecker. "We also connect this lesson to those about being disciplined and showing respect to others. We're proud of our well-rounded curriculum that teaches our students more than how to kick and punch, as important as these lessons are for physically fitness and self-defense."
According to Strecker, the ceremonial aspect of this event and the recitation of the pledge by each student directly to his or her mother is another important lesson. Children learn the self-confidence to speak in front of an audience and express themselves in genuine and sincere terms.
The Mother's Day Pledge states: I, _____________________, pledge to my mother that I will always continue my training and learn to be a leader: do my chores and help my family make our home a great place to live; study hard and be the best student possible; and be disciplined and show respect to others. Students and their mothers then sign the pledges.
As a member of the National Association of Professional Martial Artists (NAPMA), Karate and Fitness Center promotes and strives for the highest standards of age-appropriate curriculum, leadership training, child safety and security, business integrity and professional ethics.
