Strong and courageous!!

We had a blast at the self-defense class this week! Only four girls were able to come (darn summer schedules!) but we still had a great time. The girls learned some basic techniques of self-defense, and got to hit things & scream! :)

Master Rugh said he would be completely fine with setting up a second class if some of the girls would like to do it somtime this summer. His summer class schedule is lighter, so we were able to join in a regularly scheduled class that he turned into a self-defense lesson for us. If you would be interested in participating in another class later this summer so your Daisy can earn her red petal, let me know. If there is enough interest, I'll talk to him about it. The class would be on either a Monday or Wednesday from 6:15-7.

Looking forward to the pool party in August! More info to come on that soon.


Garner was so serious the whole time - this is the only pic I have of her smiling. She was going to learn how to beat people up! :)


Ava got into it more & more. She really shined in this part of the session where several black belts help "attack" her.



This pic of Aubrey cracks me up! She worked really hard the whole time.



Abby was her usual dramatic self - she was on a mission!



The girls and Master Rugh. What a nice man!!

Self-defense class tomorrow!

Hi all - I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Don't forget that tomorrow night we are having a self-defense class from 6:15-7 in the girls' gym at the Norman High School. Park in the one of the circle drives off of Main Street & follow the yellow signs that direct you to Tae Quan Do.

As the instructor is providing us this class free of charge, please try to make all or part of it if at all possible! He is a really nice man & is doing this as a favor to me so that the Daisy girls can earn their red petal patch.

Also, we are considering August 6 for our pool party - please let me know ASAP if you know that date is already an issue.

Cookie incentives are finally here! Each girl has at least $15 of 'cookie dough' to spend at the Girl Scout store and at least one patch for participating in cookie sales. I'll bring them with me tomorrow night. Don't forget the cookie dough can also be used for the fall enrollment fee or be donated to the troop.

Thanks!
Misty
