Waterford Elementary School (Loudoun) in April 2005</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Janin!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Karen Larsdatter and James Ghent helped me plan
for a last-minute Medieval Faire at our school in March 2004. The event was
a great success--the kids loved it! However, we did not plan far
enough in advance to do a full demo...So I'm trying to plan ahead this time!
For 2005, we would love to have SCA folks do a demo at our school in
April...This event would be an SCA demo only, without the distraction of
games like we had at the Medieval Faire last year:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(1) DATE & TIME = Friday, April 22, 2005
from 2:30 to 4:00 or 4:30 is suggested.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>NOTE: We are flexible on the date if that helps
you in scheduling; however, we prefer an afternoon during the week (right
after school lets out).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(2) SIZE = 120-150 students</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(3) ACTIVITIES = </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This event is centered solely on SCA
folks. We are hoping to get a dancing demo with some student participation
and perhaps a fencing demo; however, I would need to get details on fencing
to make sure that our principal will approve it. I know swords are not
allowed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>NOTE: We are very flexible and most
appreciative of any suggestions that you might offer and especially of any
folks who would like to join us! We have 1-1/2 to 2 hours for the event. How
long should we set aside for a dancing type of demo? Should we try to get
some other hands-on demos and then rotate students through
them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(4) MEDIEVAL FAIR: Finally, we still plan to
have a separate event just as we did last year--this time on Wed., Feb. 23.
This event includes a feast and entertaining the children with various
activities, such as in-costume photos, archery (rubber-tipped),
leatherworking, and various games. We rotate students through the
activities. Last year, we were pleased to have Ragnar the Ribcracker,
Siubhan inghean Alasdair, Baron Colum Maxwell, and Katherine (don't know her
full name, but she did calligraphy/illumination) join us. If anyone is
interested in helping us with hands-on medieval crafts or an armor demo but
does not have time in April, then we welcome them to join us in
Feb!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(5) Please advise us on an appropriate
contribution for helping us with a demo.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would anyone like to help us with a demo in
April? Just so you know, these events are planned as part of Waterford
Elementary's reading incentive program. Children who meet their reading
goals for 2 months in a row are invited to attend these events. So far this
year and last, these incentives are helping about 3/4 of our school meet
their reading goals!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help you can offer!</FONT></DIV>
