Christopher M. Grade 8:
"In an intense two-hour grading Christopher received his first Dan Black Belt, under the Irish Master Joe Doyle, and external Korean examiner Grand Master Michael Ho, of The Global Traditional Taekwondo Federation. Just three weeks short of his 13th Birthday, Christopher became one of the youngest members the club has ever invited to grade at this level. Until the age of sixteen, his belt will appear with a red underpinning to show his underage status for competition purposes." Congratulations, Christopher!
Sofia C. Grade 7:
"I was awarded the Youngest Entrepreneur Certificate of Achievement, along with a plaque and monetary prize, at our annual Independence Day Expo. This was presented by the Belize Chamber of Commerce & Industry. This recognition was given for my crochet business, which began as a simple hobby introduced through the Mother of Divine Grace (MODG) homeschool syllabus. What started as a school project quickly grew into a passion, and from there I took off, turning creativity into a business that could reach others." Congratulations, Sofia!
Noah A. Grade 8:
"Our county honors select student athletes who demonstrate the county's core values in youth sports with a Good Sports Award. Noah was chosen as the Player of the Year from one of about 20 youth sports organizations in the county. He and fellow recipients were honored at an awards dinner and ceremony. The commissioner for the organization that nominated him lauded his character and conduct both on and off the field. Noah takes seriously his call to carry his Catholic faith with him into sports, and we're extremely proud of him for not hiding his light under a bushel, but letting it shine before men!" Congratulations, Noah!
