//The seventh annual //**TV-Turnoff //YEAR !!// ** //October 10, 2011 through June, 2012 //

//**Are you up for a Challenge?** //
//In collaboration with the PTA, the Jefferson staff encourages our students and their families to turnoff the television during the school week. Children who watch little or no TV tend to have higher grades, read more books, and exercise regularly. Sound good? //

**How the Program Works **

The challenge runs on school nights, beginning after dinner on Sunday and continuing until after school on Friday. Breaks are given to participants during school vacations, snow days and sick days. There are three levels of participation.  **GOLD** : __No__ TV, videos, computer or video games on school days. ** SILVER :** __No more than **2 ½**__ //hours TV each week//. ** BRONZE :** No more than __5__ hours per week. As a special bonus, students participating in the ULTIMATE TV-Turnoff Challenge will be allowed to check out one extra library item every week. AWARDS will be presented in June to those students who successfully meet the **ULTIMATE CHALLENGE !!!** IF YOU THINK YOU ARE UP FOR THIS AWESOME CHALLENGE, CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO PRINT THE FLYER!!!!!
