Student of the month - ELIN KRAMER
The student of the month for September is Elin Kramer! Elin is 11 and has been with the dojo for 5 years and with leadership for 1. She is a third degree brown belt, recently tested, and hopes to become a black belt someday. Outside of the dojo, Elin enjoys doing hip-hop dancing, skiing, and being with her friends. We were hesitant to give Elin the student of the month award because this past year in leadership, she has struggled some with staying on task on the sidelines and not talking to her friends during off times. But as we approach the new season, we are watching Elin ask to take on more responsibilities and seeing her take things more seriously, and we are confident that in the next year, we won’t have to hesitate to award her anything. We’re excited to see where she goes!
