Martial Arts Assembly

Organized/Spnsored by the Waynewood PTA

Before the break our students were treated to an exciting and inspiring performance by talented young athletes from Yoo’s Authentic Martial Arts. The dedication and skill demonstrated by these martial artists showcased the importance of hard work, discipline, and doing your best.

Their performance was both entertaining and motivating. Even Mrs. Cachine got in on the action with an impressive board breaking chop! 

We would like to extend our gratitude to Yoo’s Authentic Martial Arts for taking the time to prepare for this fun assembly and for sharing their passion for martial arts with our school!
