Do you have the necessary knowledge and skill set to protect yourself against the crimes committed against women? Do you know what to do if confronted by an attacker? Do you have a game plan to deal with violent crime?

The paradox of self-defense is that the more prepared you are, the less likely you are to need it. When you can recognize and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations, you are more confident in your every day activities. You are also less likely to become a target of crime.

The survey results clearly show the father/daughter event is still our most popular event. Although the other events all come in close in numbers.

Taking into consideration the present economy and the survey, our PTO President has proposed to have one family event this year instead of the seperate mother/daughter and father/son events. A vote was taken at the PTO meeting and it was voted on unanimously to have a family event.

Since Orchard Farms is celebrating its 5th year anniversary this year we would like to somehow incorporate this into our family event.

Come celebrate the end of the 2007/2008 school year with our annual End of Year PTO Dinner at Luigi's, 1357 Hartford Ave, Johnston. Cost: $25 per person.

Donations of raffle items are still needed for our Mother-Son Dance: the 50's Sock Hop on March 28th. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated.

Companies making donations will be eligible for a business card sized ad in our thank-you letter (which will be distributed after the dance).

Please contact Josephine McConaghy at social@orchardfarms.org if you can help out.

All of the Orchards Farms Kool Katz and their Totally Kool Ladies are cordially invited to the 50's Sock Hop Dance.

We will be eating pizza and twisting the night away in the Orchard Farms Elementary School cafetorium and gym.
