Dreaming of Judo
In our first formal contractual partnership with Pittsburgh
Public Schools, AYD provided a five-week judo class to over 40
boys as part of the District’s “Summer Dreamers Academy” camp
for middle-school students. Coach Rick Brown and three of AYD’s
brown-belt instructors taught daily classes at Pittsburgh King
Pre-K-8 school.

Getting to the Point!
Thanks to a generous individual donation, AYD high-performing students
celebrated a successful school year with a July trip to Cedar
Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. |
