Picture Day In Windsor


Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Dear Parents & Students,

On Saturday November 25th we will be having a picture day in Windsor. Photographer Richard Ireland will be coming to the Windsor School at 9:00am on that day to take pictures of any student interested in having their picture taken in uniform. The cost of these portrait style pictures is very reasonable, and I will have the exact detail shortly.

We are planning on setting up picture days in both Tecumseh and Belle River, however the Windsor day is also open to all students at all locations. There will be signup sheets at each school.

I hope to see you there.

Just a few reminders of important dates on the calendar this month. First on Saturday November 18th is Black Belt testing. This is a small testing this time out, but the event is scheduled to start at 2:00pm. Come on in a watch the event!

Also on Saturday is our Tournament Team practice in Windsor. This is scheduled for 10:30am.

Sunday November 19th at 2:00pm in Windsor we are having our first Parent Committee meeting. If you need more information on this please contact me at instructor@thepeacefulwarriors.org.

On a final note, this past weekends CMATC was an amazing event once again for all those who participated! Sadly, this event will not be happening in 2007. It has been a yearly conference for about 8 years now, but Grand Master Stewart has decided to move on to other things. On a brighter note, I would like to personally congratulate Master Scott Mason, Pu Sa Bum Nim Stephen White and Kyo Sa Nim Kevin Miller on their successful tests for 1st Dan Black Belt in the art of Kyusho Jitsu. Great work gentlemen! See the December Newsletter for pictures, video and highlight of the final CMATC.

Christmas Toy Drive







Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Dear Parents & Students:

The holiday season is fast approaching. At this time every year, for the last 5 years, we as a school have participated in the Windsor Firefighters / Lions Club Christmas Toy Drive for underprivileged children in our city. Every year the response is AMAZING.

So once again it is time. Please bring one (or more if you choose) NEW UNWRAPPED toy to your Peaceful Warriors School by Friday December 1st 2006. These will then be collected from all 3 locations and delivered to the Firefighters for distribution.

On behalf of the Windsor Roseland Lions Club and the Windsor Firefighters, as well as The Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute we thank you for your support.
