Sorry for not posting in the past few days, but it took me some time to recover from the long hot drive back from Phoenix. It’s great to be back on the coast.
I found some more interesting booths at the National PTA conference.
ScreenOut! is a project of the American Heart Association, American Legacy Foundation and the American Medical Association, and is dedicated to getting tobacco out of Hollywood movies.
According to their site, Hollywood movies are now the primary recruiter of new young smokers in the United States. Getting the tobacco out of youth-rated movies — voluntarily, without government involvement — is the single easiest, cheapest, most effective thing we can do to extend the lives of this generation.

i-SAFE is dedicated to educating and empowering the youth of America to safely and responsibly take control of their online experiences.
Supported by a grant from the U.S. Justice Department, i-SAFE’s goal is to educate students on how to avoid dangerous, inappropriate, or unlawful online behavior. i-SAFE accomplishes this through dynamic K-12 curriculum and community outreach programs to parents, law enforcement, and community leaders.
There are a lot of good resources on their site.
