The Anoka County Sheriff's Office said two 13-year-old girls from Andover, Minn. who disappeared under "suspicious circumstances" Monday night were found in Burnsville and were with a 23-year-old man who has been arrested on a pending charge of solicitation.

The two teens were last seen together at 7:45 p.m. Monday in the area of 159th Avenue and Swallow Street. Anoka County investigators said the girls communicated with the suspect, identified as Casey Lee Chinn, online for at least two weeks before arranging a meet-up Monday night.  For more details you can read the story using the this link.

All of our students in our kids program perform Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) as part of Premier Karate's character development program.  The RAK program reinforces the lessons taught in class on the Taekwon-Do tenant of Courtesy.  Martial Arts is more than just punching and kicking and self-defense.  The Martial Arts develop a positive can do attitude and respect for others.  Here are some examples of RAK performed in the last year by our students, we also post example periodically on our school Facebook page.
