Valley Forge Parents' Network Coffee Morning

Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States?

On Friday, March 27, Cruisin' Smart™ will be doing a presentation for our 8th grade students.  Cruisin' Smart™, a community education initiative of Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, is a unique program that brings people face to face with the consequences of driving impaired or distracted by using true-life tragedies to instruct and change attitudes. Young speakers who are survivors of life-altering injuries warn their audiences that being impaired or distracted while driving can often result in a fate worse than death.

This is a very powerful and important message we will be bringing to the student body.  As part of the program, our students will be receiving 2 brochures.  

1.      "Student Safety Tips" - This brochure will include statistical information and facts/myths about the dangers of distracted driving.  There will also be a reminder of how to develop a safety plan.

2.      "Parent/Guardian Talking Guide" - This brochure is for you. It includes statistical information about distractive driving as well, but more importantly there are tips for you on how to have a conversation with your teen about the dangers of driving impaired and/or distracted.  For your convenience, there is also a contract for you and your teen to develop.

DRAMA PROPS

There is a tree that we used in the drama. Please come and claim it. It was perfect for the drama and we thank you for its use.

The PTO website would like to post some pictures from the 5/6 drama. If you have any you would like to share please send to Sarah Culbert via this link. Thank you.
