Aikidaily as it happens.
We will be having a special class for families on 17th, Monday.
Other family members (adults and children) are welcome to join the class and do aikido with our students. If they are not already involved, this is a good opportunity to introduce them to it.
The class will be from 11 am to noon.
Space is very limited. RVSP soon!
Our ideal candidate is able to easily engage with children between the ages of 5 and 10. This candidate has a desire to guide children in yoga and meditation; do art, read books and play games with them to enrich their lives.
The real job is to keep a bunch of kids engaged doing positive activities that help promote a healthy and positive lifestyle: between when they get dropped off from school, their aikido class, and when they get picked up by their parents before 6pm.
This would be for a revolving group of, on average, 12 children for approximately 3 hours 3 days a week between 3:15pm and and 6:15pm or earlier.
We are very flexible with how you run the program as long as the children are engaged and having a positive experience.
Compensation is based on experience and qualifications. Salary and benefits are negotiable. Bringing your child to work is a possibility.
Please email your cover letter and resume to grant.babin@aikidaily.com
Date: January 31 (Fri)
Time: 6:00-9:00 pm
Because of the increasing number of students, we are going to cap participation to 30 kids. It will be first come, first serve. Please let us know if you want to cancel after you sign up so that we can accommodate other students.
One Friday Night each month we host Movie Night at the dojo. Parents get a little break and the kids get to have a lot of fun. All of the Aikido kids gather together play games, eat a meal and watch a movie. This is a great opportunity for them to get to know one another a little better and bond.
We will be cooking up some sort of super yummy vegan dish, making fresh lemonade.
Food and games are from 6 to 7. The movie starts at 7. Pick up is from 8:30. Lights go out at 9.
Kids call it movie night, but most parents call it "Date Night".
Our adult members are also invited to come out socialize and have fun with the kids. This is a great time to hang out, have fun and create community.
Adults are requested to bring a dish to share. Please let us know of any food allergies or dietary restrictions that we should know about.
Movie night or "Date Night" is by donation.
Time: December 31, 11:30 pm - 1:30 am
Class: 11:30 pm-12:30 am
Celebration: 12:30 am- 1:30 am
Japanese Sake provided.
Once again, we will be saying goodbye to the past year and welcoming the new one in the best way ever: ON THE MATS.
Come join us in this traditional year end practice followed by light snacks and a toast.
*Every year, the Aikikai World Headquarters hosts a very special tradition called "Etsunen Geiko" (year-end practice). Aikido practitioners gather from far and wide to train together during the last half hour of the year and first half hour of the next. After class, they celebrate the start of the year with light snacks and Japanese sake.
