Here is another opportunity for PMAFA students to build courage!  Demonstrations are the forefront of developing students to the next level.  When there are so many eyes on a student it teaches them better concentration, it builds more courage, and it builds confidence which in turn builds leadership.  Do not miss these opportunities to enhance your skills and broaden yourselves.
 
Students must be registered in order to participate in the demonstration and must have a PMAFA Blue T-shirt Short Combo or white uniform.  BBC must wear BBC uniform, Black Belts wear white uniform.
 
PMAFA members are meeting at the East Main St. location by 8:30 a.m.  Line up is at 8:45 a.m. at Central High School main entrance.  The parade will begin at 11:15 a.m.  All PMAFA participants must wear the Royal Blue Tshirt Short Combo, white PMAFA uniform, Black Belt Club wears BBC full Uniform, Black Belts White uniform.

The march is about 1 hour.  The minibus will return to the East Main St. school after the march.

We  can always use parent volunteers to walk behind the students and take part in our Operation Hydration.  That means distribute water when needed :-).  Please let us know if you can help.
