Sources

  1. A parent publicly credited Dave Avery's Taekwondo classes with teaching focus and discipline, said fees were minimal, and described work-for-fees options. This is participant testimony about perceived community value and access, not enrollment, accounting, or an independent evaluation.

  2. The instructor announced a January 8–March session in the school gym, with Wednesday and Saturday classes for ages 11 and older and adults, a $60 three-month fee, and school students covered through the 21st Century Program. It documents the planned session, not enrollment or attendance.

  3. The team said a January 17 basketball-game demonstration raised $60 toward a $1,700 September Michigan Cup Tournament goal and hoped to demonstrate again January 31. This is an organizer report and fundraising appeal, not an independent financial accounting or proof that the second demonstration occurred.

  4. The notice announced an April–June session for ages 11 and older, with Wednesday and Saturday classes and a $60 session fee. It documents the planned training session, not enrollment or attendance.

  7. The instructor’s announcement said Taekwondo classes restarted January 7 at the school gym, meeting Wednesdays and Saturdays for $20 per month and welcoming ages 11 through 60+. This documents a later schedule, not enrollment or continuity.
