Wednesday, May 17, 2006 Internet Safety--Protecting our Kids in Cyberspace.  Does your 4th grader want to start IMing his friends?  Does your 3rd grader Google for homework?  Does your 1st grader want a computer in her room?  Does your teenage babysitter have access to a computer in your family room?  Do your kids get on the Internet at their friends’ houses?  If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, please come hear Charlene Entman, Web Developer for New Trier High School.  From cyberbullying to cyberpredators, there are many dangers we parents did not face when we were kids.  Whether your kids are on the Internet now, or may not be for a couple years, you will want to attend this program and learn what we all can do to help protect our kids.  For more information, please contact Mary Lawlor (847-853-0524).   7 - 8 pm, Central Elementary School, 920 Central Ave., Wilmette, IL  Sponsored by Family Awareness Network and Central School PTA
