SPMA finished off the year with a week of gradings and Christmas party. Congratulations to everyone that graded and thanks to everyone who made it to our Christmas party.

The annual SPMA awards were also given out during the Christmas party. The Kids Most Improved of the year was awarded to Anthony Capano and the Kids Competitor of the Year was a tie between Adam Assuncao and Michael De Marco.
