EVEREST ACADEMY IS PLEASED TO PRESENT
ANOTHER AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM OPTION:

Introduction to Tae Kwon Do will be offered to children of Everest Academy grades 1 – 8 beginning Friday, April 8th and will run for 6 weeks ending on May 20th.  (No class April 29th)  T-USA Martial Arts of Palos Heights and Lemont will provide the classes. Instructor Mary Beth Toussaint, Outreach and Education Coordinator, will facilitate the program. 

Tae Kwon Do, the Korean art of defense, builds focus, concentration, discipline and above all …respect.  Students will learn the fundamental techniques in a safe “non contact” environment.  Tae Kwon Do develops endurance, flexibility, and coordination.  All students will receive a “white belt” on the first day of class, and will progress through the T-USA curriculum.  Future sessions will allow students to promote through the T-USA belt ranking system on-site at Everest Academy.

Classes will meet after school and will run for 50 minutes. Students are asked to bring t-shirt and athletic pants to change into at the end of the school day.  Parents are welcome to view all classes and learn the benefits of the Tae Kwon Do Program.

Program Fee:  $72.00 per participant (6 week session) Please submit both registration forms and your payment by March 30th. We need a minimum of 8 students to run this class.
