Nearly 500 parents, educators, law enforcement officials and children, celebrated the second annual Macomb Internet Safety Day!
It's been nearly one week since our very successful 2nd annual Internet Safety Day took place.
The entire day went without a hitch! The honorable Mayor kicked off Internet Safety Day by explaining to the second and third children what a "proclamation" was during our student assembly. There were 300 people, including the children, in attendance! After a very special presentation, the children finally found out who the six winners of the poster contest were!
In the evening, the Macomb Online Safety Team (M.O.S.T.) sponsored our annual Internet Safety parental event. Miss Macomb 2007 emceed the event and the Mayor officially proclaimed the day "Macomb Internet Safety Day". Nearly 200 people showed up to hear our very special guest Sarah Migas, from the Office of the Illinois Attorney General and our very special keynote speaker, Tina Meier. Both shared a wealth of information to parents, educators and law enforcement in the audience.
As Chairperson of the M.O.S.T. committee and Regional Office of Education Internet Safety Coordinator, I wanted this year's focus to be solely on the growing issue of electronic bullying. The poster contest, video contest and the parental event dealt specifically with cyberbullying. Hopefully, those in attendance were educated as to the real risks involved with cyberbullying.
Many dedicated and devoted individuals worked very long hours to bring this event to fruition. It was in the planning stages for one entire year.
On a personal note, I was deeply honored to meet Tina Meier. She has remarkable courage and strength. Taking an incredibly painful and tragic event, and helping others avoid the same pain.

Open the windows and let some fresh air in. Spring is right around the corner.
Could it be that lingering snow is finally melting? Do I really see tiny flower buds peeking out of the cold ground from a long winter's nap? And unless I'm mistaken, I believe that big yellow thing I saw in the sky the other day, was actually the sun. Yes sir, I think spring has finally sprung!
This has been the longest winter! I believe it was the pundits who swore we were in for a mild winter! So much for the experts! But no matter where you live, unless you own a ski resort, I would bet most people are more than ready to say goodbye to winter and hello spring!
As I write this, I am on "Spring Break". Of course, I'm spending it working. But regardless, having a week off from "work" can't be beat. Plus, St. Patrick's Day is just a few days ago, and Easter follows quickly behind. We are on the home stretch and I, for one, am getting very antsy!
The articles listed below include four St. Patrick's Day fun for the entire family. (I'm sensing a theme here)! :-) From free St. Paddy's Day greeting cards and simple printable projects to free online activities for children of ages.
Free St. Patrick's Day Activities
