Beginning in September the American Black Belt Academy located in Massapequa Park will begin a Martial Arts After School Program.

The program will be Monday through Friday from 3:00-6:00 p.m. and will be available three or five days a week.

Martial Arts after school will include school bus pick up from all area schools directly to the karate school where parents can then pick their children up at 6:00 p.m.

In addition to the children getting all the benefits of their award winning karate program there will be homework, reading and snack time along with a variety of additional structured programs throughout the afternoon.

The program is limited in size and demand is expected to be high. All interested parties should call the school at 795-8531 and speak to Tom or Lorraine LoVarco.
