| Anthony Chang |
As a martial artist and the newest member of SPG, Anthony has
learned patience is the key to not only enlightenment but also working with
kids. He’s excited to start off his position at SPG where he’ll finally begin as
Mr.Miyagi rather than having to work his way up from the karate kid.

Even with only a year as part of
the SPG team, Andrea has shown she is a natural when it comes to working with
kids. Patience, patience and what? Even more patience. |
 |
| Christopher Lee |
In his quest to become a Ninja Turtle as a child,
Chris decided to pick up martial arts. However, he was unable to attain
the secret ooze needed to mutate himself into turtle form and his dreams were
crushed. To cope, he spent four years studying psychology and completing
the Education Program at UBC and has a new dream...to become a teacher (which he
now is). Way to go Chris! |

Vivian began her career at SPG at the age of six.
She enjoyed her time here so much she is still coming back for more - albeit, we
can only get in her to come in on swim days! |
