Local Businesses Team Up to Help Community Kids Get A's in School

Online, July 29, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Local businesses in Sandy, UT are teaming up to help local kids improve their grades in school this year. This year they will be providing opportunities for community members to participate in completely free events that will help better the community. The first event, scheduled for Saturday August 17th at 10:00 am, will be on Goal Setting for Good Grades. As the new school year is quickly approaching, these local Utah businesses want to help the children in the community improve their goal setting skills so that they will have a great school year. Some other events that are coming up include seminars for personal and family safety, fitness classes, anti-bullying workshops, and health and nutrition seminars (among other events). Together, these businesses hope to help the members of their community become happier and healthier. They are committed to putting the community first and doing everything they can to make a difference for good.

"When I heard about this outstanding, one-of-a-kind program I knew I wanted to be part of it and share it with the community. My own daughter has benefited greatly from this program," said Holly Stirling of Utah Lending Professionals.

The first free community event, a seminar on Goal Setting for Good Grades, is scheduled for Saturday August 17th at 10:00 am. This seminar is great for both parents and children. The material covered will include what goals are, how to set and achieve goals, the true meaning of self discipline, and the 3 step easy-to-remember formula for good grades.

When asked why Personal Mastery Martial Arts, and other local businesses, would offer this great course for free, owner Brett Lechtenberg said, "Beyond teaching martial arts here at Personal Mastery we are also committed to empowering local youth with success skills and core abilities that will have a tremendous positive impact on their lives. This is a triple win for everyone - You win because you and your children get some additional help. Your children win because the talk is fun and educational. We win by showing our community that we do so much more than just kick and punch. I would definitely recommend this seminar to anyone who wants to see their child succeed in school."

Monica Rossano of Kid-to-Kid in Holladay said, "We are thrilled to take part in this ground-breaking program! We work with kids every day and are so excited to help them achieve good grades in school."

Many of these free events, offered for the benefit of the community, will be hosted at Personal Mastery Martial Arts and iLoveKickboxingSandy. This fitness facility has been in business and working to help people become happier and healthier for 17 years. They specialize in personal and family safety, children's safety programs, leadership skill development, and fitness and nutrition.
