Perseverence is the character development theme for March

Andover Premier Karate & Martial Arts Academy

The character development theme for March is "Perseverance". We will be discussing a quote during classes and why it is important to develop the trait of perseverance for happiness and success in school, work and life. The quote is from by Maya Angelou and is the following:
