It's Student of the Month time...

This week we will reveal the student of the month! As you all know, the Student of the Month has extra responsibility such as Lining everyone up, Bowing in the Class, Leading Warm Ups and Closing the Class.
Our Student of the Month Program is different. Instead of choosing a Student at the beginning of the month, we here at OMA are one month behind. We choose who leads the class based on the merit of the previous month and the person we believe to have taken the Warrior Tenet of Resilience to heart. Over the course of the last week we've talked to parents as well as the potential candidate, compared and contrasted and decided whom we thought is most deserving of the responsibility. This program is Unique because it needs to be earned, and once earned, puts the deserving individual in a leadership position with extra responsibility.

We have also shot a fun "Demo Reel" of the student, displaying their talents combined with an interview with their parents and instructors. This video will be shown in front of the class and will also be loaded onto our YouTube and Facebook page. I strongly suggest you "Like" and "Share" this video with your Family and Friends to show your support for the hard work and dedication of this new Student of the Month.

If your child was up for consideration for Student of the Month this month and didn't make it, it's okay. Explain to them that there will be many other chances to make Student of the Month, and as long as they are Resilient... Like the Warrior Tenet of the month... You are confident they will get what they strive for! Remember, every moment is a teaching moment that can help your child learn about the reality that is life. Sometimes we don't get what we work hard for... sometimes we even come close just missing... but we must NEVER stop reaching for that brass ring. If we want it enough to where we are willing to continue working hard for it... Nothing can stop us.

Respectfully in the Arts,
