Yates students awarded for positive behavior
with Tae Kwon Do lessons

Students at Yates Magnet School got a special treat for following the rules this month.  The Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) winners enjoyed a private Tae Kwon Do lesson with Senior Master Instructor Scott Ferguson of Pai's Tae Kwon Do in Schenectady.

Students learned about good health through exercise, being the best you can be and self-discipline and control.  The students also got pointers on a number of other areas including how to defeat a bully without fighting, respect for parents, teachers and classmates, law and order and the importance of having focus and concentration in order to get good grades in school.

Senior Master Ferguson ended the private lesson by showing each child how to break a board with strong concentration. 

Senior Master Ferguson will return to Yates with Grand Mater Thomas Pai on February 2 for a school wide assembly.
