St. Margaret's TV Turnoff Week

Together we will join various East Penn Schools and families across the nation to observe National TV Turnoff Week: April 23 - 29, 2007.

As part of this observation we will have Game Night on Friday, April 27, 2007 at 7 pm in the Parish Hall. Individuals and families bring snacks to share and your favorite games - Dominos, trivia, Clue, etc. If weather permits, we will go outdoors for kickball or bean bag toss.

What is the TV Turnoff Network?

TV-Turnoff Network, formerly TV-Free America, is a nonprofit organization that encourages children and adults to watch much less television in order to promote healthier lives and communities.

Founded in 1994, TV-Turnoff Network is dedicated to the belief that we all have the power to determine the role that television plays in our own lives. Rather than waiting for others to make "better" TV, we can turn it off and reclaim time for our families, our friends, and for ourselves.

TV-Turnoff Week is a grassroots project that works. More than 65 national organizations, including the American Medical Association, the National Education Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, support or endorse TV-Turnoff Week. TV-Turnoff Week succeeds because our network of thousands works hard to organize local schools, clubs, religious congregations, and communities. Since 1995, more than 24 million people have participated in TV-Turnoff Week.
