Dear WMAF Parents,

We appreciate your patience and understanding during these very uncertain times. We have been carefully evaluating the present situation and the possible future outcomes for our patrons, business, and staff. We will continue to evaluate each scenario as information continues to develop.

In accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Virginia Department of Social Services, child care facilities are encouraged to ask “families to remain at home to care for their children if at all possible.” Therefore, an abundance caution we are going to remain closed until further notice. Williams Martial Arts and Fitness has always believed in being socially responsible and service to the community, therefore this decision was made to serve you and the greater good of our community.

We recognize that situation has put an emotional and financial strain on everyone and their families. In order to provide the most relief for you, our patrons, we have decided to suspend payments for the month of April. We understand that there are many questions regarding future payments and those will be made on a rolling basis as the situation develops.

We ask for your understanding and patience as we make these upcoming decisions. We are striving to provide assistance for our families while trying to continue support our business. Williams Martial Arts and Fitness understands that we are in a state of crisis and we are weighing each decision with you in mind as well as our ability to continue operations. We intend to remain strong for the community and a source of reassurance to be here when things return to normal. It is essential that everyone work together to keep each other strong and healthy. We hope that the monthly reprieve of April payments will ease the difficulty of the situation and we look forward to seeing all our families soon!

Sincerely,
Shihan Clinton Williams

The Joys of Doing Nothing

Some things to take into consideration as we get back into the rhythm of school, sports, extracurriculars and everything in between. We as parents need to really consider what is best our children and their development.

scholastic.com In a world of instant messages, iPhones, and soccer, allowing kids unstructured time may sound like heresy, but it's the greatest gift of all.

Yay no school already!!! Friday, August 30th LCPS is closed! We will have camp! $55 for the day! Sign up today!
