Background (Preamble):

The “Rites of Passage” Program was established in NPS 12 years ago.The Program was geared for Behavior Modification and Fitness.Our schools and our nation have fallen to chaos. 

Morals have declined in our nation examples are violence, teachers having altercations with students, drug abuse and these are just a few issues faced daily by families in our communities.We need solutions for our school aged children.The mental well-being of our children is important, and so is their physical state, so they can be at peace with one another.This is the purpose of the “Rites of Passage” Program.This program is also designed to instill qualities in our youth that will make them better children in the family and in the community, by teaching them responsibility to their family.

 Petition:

I am asking you to sign this so that our students may have a Rites of Passage (Martial Arts/Fitness) Summer Program. Not only as an outlet, keeping their minds and bodies in shape, but also to curtail any negative impacts in their community.There is no other program designed in our school system quite like it. It has been considered very successful.We would like to start this effective program in summer of 2012.

From concerned parents of the “Rites of Passage” Program
