Family Black Belt Academy is hosting a Parent's Night Out for Lawton students on Saturday, December 14th from 4 - 8:00 p.m. ALL money goes directly to the PTA to support the IslandWood camping experience for next year's Lawton 5th graders.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Parent's Night Out begins with free time in which the kids can build forts and engage socially with each other. Next is 20-30 minutes of Martial Arts drills followed by 20-30 minutes of games such as obstacle courses, karate ball, lava tag, and loads of other physical activities. Halfway through the evening, they serve Domani pizza! At the very end of the night, they finish with an epic Nerf gun battle. Students should dress in lightweight, comfortable clothing.
COST?
- $65 per student/$55 for any siblings
- Must be paid for by Friday, December 6th. Family Black Belt Academy does not receive any money from this event, so checks must be made out to Lawton PTA with "parent night out" written in the memo and turned in to the Dropbox outside the staff lounge in the Lawton lobby.
- Pizza is included in the price of the event.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
At this time, only current K-5 Lawton students may attend. Family Black Belt Academy's formal classes are all mixed ages, so they are accustomed to a variety of age groups within each class.
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
The studio needs a minimum of 10 students to participate in order to host the event. Please sign-up ASAP. If you have any questions, please reply to this email.

Interested in data?
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) released data related to the recently overhauled discipline rules for SPS students. The rules “discourage the use of exclusion as a form of punishment because it has been found to be ineffective in improving student behavior and has several documented harmful effects on students and schools.”
