Family & Friends Appreciation Night
-
Quarterly, conduct a "Family & Friends
Appreciation Night."
-
Give each child invitations that they can sign
and pass out their parents, grandparents, or other relatives and
friends to invite them to the event.
-
Make the invitations special to the student so
everyone will want to come. Welcome video and still photographing.
-
Have a door prize they have to sign up for and
have snacks and drinks available.
-
Have a special area set up for photographing
students with their instructors or family/friends. The background
should show the school logo and name. Students can pose using
training equipment in the school.
-
Remind parents that they can bring their child
to one class and then stay and take on their own. This will allow
them to bond more with their children.
School Visits
Ask children students if they would like you to come to their class
at school so you and they could demonstrate Taekwondo for the class.
- For student’s that say yes, tell their parents what you want to
do and get the school name and teacher’s name.
- Mail an official letterhead letters, or have students deliver
the letters, to the teachers. In the letter, say that the student is
a member of your children’s’ self-defense program (do not call it
Taekwondo or a martial art; the teacher may have preconceived bad
thoughts about martial arts). Say that the student has asked you to
come to the class to demonstrate what he or she has learned in the
program. Tell them it will be a short, 15-minute demonstration where
the student show some techniques and then you will perform some
safe, but spectacular, techniques and then give a short talk on
stranger danger, handling bullies, etc. (use eye-catching charts to
keep student attention). Remind them you are doing this for the
student as a reward for good behavior at school. Thank them for
taking the time to do something special for a great child like the
student.
- Some schools may have policies against handing out business
cards, brochures, or flyers. However, you can have your student pass
out pencils with your school name and phone number on them to all
the classmates.
- Send a thank you note to the teacher after the demonstration
with an offer to come back again.
Board Breaking Night
Have a special board breaking night where students can bring their
friends to train with them in class and then watch them break boards.
