INTERNET SAFETY
Just about everyone these days is online.  The internet is a great place to 
learn, to be entertained, and to meet new people.  It is also a place where 
families need to be diligently aware of what comes in and what goes out 
through their computer.  This is a great site for parents, teachers, and 
kids about being safe on the internet.  If you know of any other appropriate 
sites, please let me know.
