[Ponte Alto] Message sent to the organizing teacher at RavensworthElementary

Actually Marsaili if you want to bring real weapons to a Fairfax County 
school all you need to do is get the principals permission as Lucia and I 
found out last year. I brought shape swords and pole arms and kept them at a 
safe distance from the kids and they never touched them. I also had covers 
for then and kept the covers on when not showing them.

I also strung a bow but I did not notch an arrow in it.

 >Julie --

I have a question for you since this has sparked a HUGE debate among the SCA 
people.  My one (so far!) volunteer has suggested a demonstration of a 
fighting technique called fiore.  If he can find a partner.

While this would be done with wooden swords -- we know, no real weapons on 
school property! -- what would the school policy be on something like this?  
The children and school staff would NOT be involved, except as observers.  
However, we don't want to plan anything and then find out it's in violation 
of the school rules.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
