Beyond CYO Athletics: High Blue Belts for Riley & Samantha

At SMM, we love celebrating the passions our students pursue beyond the classroom and CYO and this month, we’re excited to spotlight Riley Rose (3A) and Samantha (3B)!

Both girls have earned their High Blue Belts in Taekwondo, which is an advanced level within the blue belt stage that reflects not only strong foundational skills, but continued growth in strength, precision, and discipline as they work toward the next ranks.

Week after week, they are sharpening their technique, building confidence, and pushing themselves closer to their goal of Black Belt. Samantha also earned a trophy for her kicking combination skills – an impressive recognition of her power, coordination, and control.

We are so proud of their dedication and perseverance. If you see them around campus, be sure to congratulate them – you might even get a chance to see some of their impressive skills in action!
