Former de Zavala Middle School students will test for their black belts this weekend through the Kickstart Kids program. The test will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at the de Zavala Middle School gym. This momentous occasion marks four years of dedication and hard work for these students as they perform to reach one of the highest levels of martial arts achievement. The students testing started the program during their sixth or seventh grade year, when the program was implemented at de Zavala in 2013. They attend Irving High School but returned to de Zavala in the evenings for black belt training.
