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 Mothers
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’ Mothers 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.
