My son Darian is starting his senior year at Missouri State University, which means he is starting to make life plans. He is an Acting major and faces two big decisions: what to do next (work or grad school) and where to do it at (New York, LA, or London).

Back to School Tips for Parents
Summertime is over, and with that comes all of the back-to-school anxiety and jitters that are common amongst children. Your child may experience common physical effects of anxiety associated with back to school time including symptoms from stomachaches to sleeping problems. They will also experience emotional stress from the fear of making new friends, meeting new teachers, fears of being bullied, pressure of making good grades, and worries of being unpopular.

Shortly after leaving Millennium Academy in 2015 I was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis and spent 9 months in recovery, pain management, and physical therapy. I am a self-proclaimed “lifetime learner” so as soon as I was ready to be active again I started exploring: I tried my hand at Crossift, Muay Thai, Bootcamp, Yoga, and more.

Just what the Parents ordered!! My daughter started over a year ago, after a recommendation from family. Within six months she showed great signs of improvement with her self esteem. We also utilize the Academy's after school program. We cannot stress the great benefits Millennium has provided to our daughter, she is slowly finding her voice and confidence. My husband and nephew have also joined and they have nothing but great things to say about Master Butler, instructors, coaches, and students.
Work hard, play hard, have a great time, equals success!
