Jay is one of our youngest Black Belts ever!
His work ethic has been outstanding through this endeavor.

His sister, Annie, and parents, Laurie and Jim, I’m sure are proud.
Because it looks like Jay’s whole life he’ll stand out in a crowd.

From never getting lower than an A– on his report cards …
Jay sets his sights high: a Lamborghini is his dream car!

He loves sushi, the Chargers, and dreams of becoming an architect.
The way he works at goals, he’s gonna make it, I would bet!

Jay, your effort has made you a Black Belt in every way.
You have made our school so proud that you are in our Black Belt Club today!
