Results of the Party & Closed Times

First off, a big thank you for everyone who came to the party and brought food and made the party such a huge success. Thank you for everyone who came, and congratulations to all of the students that ended up getting promotions. For those of you who didn't this time around, don't worry about it, everyone is doing great.





A big congratulations goes out to Deputy Ed Johnson, who finally got his much-deserved blue belt, becoming the first person to receive a belt under Ali directly. Ed is a great guy and definitely deserves this promotion, congratulations.

On a side note, the school will be closed from the evening (there will still be a morning class this day) of the 23rd of December and will open back up Saturday, the 3rd of January.

Thank you all once again and happy holidays from A-Team.

Happy Birthday, Ali.

In other news, the beard-off ended recently, with some favorable results.

The first to succumb to shaving his beard was Eric, followed by the downfall of Brandon. The epic battle of the beards came down to Ali and Chris, both men not looking to back down. However, the weaker man bowed out and Ali took home the gold - but, who ever doubted it?

Congratulations, Ali, Champion of Beards, winner of three dinners from all of the three losers.

Good show, men. Stay tuned for the next mustache-off, coming to a blog near you!
