The safety of our
children is of great importance to all of us. We can do our best
to keep them safe at home and school, but situations may arise that we cannot
control. These incidents can happen anywhere, at any time, and
with anyone. It is not just an issue in the big cities or always a “stranger
danger” attack. Parents are often unsure of what to say to their
young children and how much information they should provide to them.
Mrs. Andrews will provide an age appropriate, hands on self-defense workshop in which you may participate with your family. When parents are in attendance, they can hear and see firsthand what she plans to cover. Your child can practice these techniques on their parents or adult family members. Competence and confidence in self-defense techniques can relieve anxiety and is a good resource for your child. The majority of self-defense is avoidance of dangerous situations and good information. This will be Mrs. Andrews’ main focus. We will be practicing physical defenses, though, so please have your child wear comfortable clothing and safe gym shoes. Older siblings and all family members are encouraged to participate. The event will be held Monday, March 11, 2013, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. for students in K-5. At 8:00 p.m., students from Grades 5 are welcome to stay for a 15- 30 minute internet and middle school situations safety presentation.
