How to stay safe on the internet

NEVER download ANYTHING without a parents permission
BE CARFUL! Don’t give anyone your password, or your name, or your school, or your address, or your birthday. If you already gave your friend your password, make sure you can make a new password!

ONLY I.M, text, and email with people you KNOW!

I said to I.M, text, and email people you know. That’s because there are some VERY mean people out there! They pretend to be kids, BUT THEY’RE NOT!!! If there is someone you don’t know who is emailing, I.M, or texting you you,TELL A GROWN-Up and block them.

Viruses

Don’t open emails you do not recognize! They can give your computer a virus. A computer virus is a lot like flu virus. If you open an unsafe email, you can get a virus and accidentally spread it to other computers. So if you don’t recognize an address, DON’T OPEN IT!!!

Websites

Only go to websites you and your parents KNOW are safe! If you are going to play on a new website, show your mom or dad /mom and dad how it works and see if they think its okay.

Nothing says “fun” like coloring, and these neon bars of surf wax take it to a whole ‘nother level.

Surfers use wax to help their feet stick to their surfboards so they won’t fall off the boards. This video is just plain fun, so enjoy!

The following is a press release I received from a friend about a Market Day program that could be used as a school fundraiser. I haven’t personally tried this, but it sounds like a good idea to me. Check out the recipe at the end. Let me know how it works out for you if you try it – comments are open (moderated).

Here’s the press release:

March is National Frozen Food Month — a great time for busy moms to celebrate the value and nutrition of frozen foods every month as participants in the Market Day grocery fundraising program. Each month, parents order groceries online for their family and pick up the food (mostly frozen) at their child’s school. For every dollar spent by families who purchase groceries from Market Day that they would normally buy anyway, a portion goes back to the school. Over the course of the 30 years that schools and organizations have participated in the Market Day program, more than $450 million has been raised to help fund important educational resources such as field trips, library books, and playground equipment.

Market Day offers over 150 high quality, nutritious food products at affordable prices. Appetizers, entrees, side dishes and desserts are part of the variety of frozen foods available from Market Day. They are especially popular with busy parents who enjoy the convenience of being able to quickly prepare meals and simple recipes using Market Day food.

To coincide with Frozen Food Month, Market Day is highlighting its frozen vegetables which are flash frozen, retaining all the fresh flavors and nutrition of fresh vegetables while locking in flavors and nutrients. The newest addition to the frozen vegetable line is Petite Garden Vegetables. The dish retains the vibrant, unblemished colors, crunchy textures and consistent sizing of fresh vegetables.

Petite Garden Vegetables are crisp and colorful, and are a big hit with family members of all sizes. The family will enjoy a delectable blend of sweet peas, golden carrots, petite cauliflower florets and golden kernels of corn in a delicate buttery herb sauce. All ready to microwave in its own container that becomes an easy, elegant side dish with a blend of tastes to please everyone. The dish has only .2 grams of fat, 70 calories, and 11 grams of carbs. In fact, Market Day works diligently to offer its “Taste for Health” products, which promise no more than 300 calories and 30 percent of calories from fat per serving.

For a more robust side-dish, Market Day’s Marinated Vegetable Salad might get even the most finicky eaters to explore a vegetable dish. (recipe is attached).
Frozen food has undergone a nutritious transformation, and families can celebrate Frozen Food Month with tasty and nutritious appetizers, entrees and side-dishes and help out their local school. It’s a warm thought!
