Taekwondo

Lily took 2 months of Taekwondo lessons during the months of February and March.  She went just once a week, and I think she enjoyed it.  It was something new for all of us.  The teacher was rather strict for teaching little kids, but I suppose Martial Arts is no joke.  There were two sequences of moves they had learned...Tiger One and Tiger Two.  If the child could get up in front of the whole class and demonstrate the sequences they earned a yellow or red stripe.  Lily attempted a few times, but didn't quite get it...they had to do it PERFECT without ANY mistakes.  I was so proud of her for getting up there and trying though!  In March, the YMCA has a Strong Community Campaign and the money earned goes to families and children who couldn't otherwise afford to do any of the activities offered through the YMCA.  Her Taekwondo class held a Kick A Thon, and Lily raised nearly $140!
