Are you thinking about trying tournaments out but not sure how to get started? Our MEGA TEAM is a great way to get going. The MEGA TEAM division is a synchronized team form larger than 10 competitors. There's plenty of time this summer to learn the form and join the crew - no experience required. Ask Master Hallberg for more information if you're interested!!

**SENIOR SPOTLIGHT**

Congratulations to White Bear Lake High School graduate, Mr. JT Baltzer!

Mr. Baltzer is a great instructor, student and competitor - we'll miss him in the classroom this fall. JT will be attending Saint Mary's University of Minnesota majoring in Mechatronics Engineering. We wish him all the best starting his next chapter in Winona!

Summer Camp 2026 is just around the corner - check out some of the fun from years past!!

Summer Camp is Monday June 29 - Thursday, July 2 from 9AM - 3PM each day! Sign up with Master Hallberg ASAP!

It’s HOT and MUGGY - finally feeling like Summer!
Friendly reminder to all students and parents:

Please make sure you’re washing uniforms/sparring equipment regularly and hosing down any dirty kids BEFORE they enter the classroom.

Remember, if you can smell them so can everybody else!

Thank you for helping us keep our schools clean and comfortable!
