Congratulations to all the students that participated in the Capital City Championships. We broke our old tournament attendance record with a total competitor count of a little over 1200 weapons and taekwondo competitors. I was so proud of our students here in Osage Beach for their competitive spirit. Competition keeps us all on our toes and slows down the aging process of our minds and bodies. If you made it to opening ceremonies you probably saw our Osage Beach and Jefferson City leadership teams perform a demonstration. It was nothing short of spectacular and I want to personally thank all the leaders and their parents for the time they put into the demonstration.

Special
Thanks
I would like to thank everyone for their help putting this tournament together. You can really tell what kind of a school you have when you have a tournament. It takes an army to put together an event of this magnitude. I have seen so many parents and students offer their assistance since day 1 of the planning phase. This generosity continued through the entire weekend and for that I cannot thank you enough!
Testing
Our next testing is scheduled for Thursday November 18th. Check you permission slips for the correct times.
Christmas
