New Awards for Beth and Scott
Our new DVD has been getting a lot of attention in September! First we won an Honors award from NAPPA, the National Association of Parenting Publications. Then, we heard from the folks at Parents' Choice who bestowed upon us the coveted "Approved" designation. It's nice to know that our independant efforts and those of our creative team are receiving some national attention. A big thank you to all the folks who made this dream a recognized success in our industry!
Hot off the Presses - "Do The Right Thing"
While our children were busy at sleepaway camp this summer, we were busy writing our new program, "Do The Right Thing", a character education show for older elementary students. (Scott also learned how to play harmonica and Indian flute, both featured in this program!) This hot new show is some of the best work we have ever done as writers and we are very excited to be premierinig it this fall. New songs featured are: "G.O.S.S.I.P.I.N.G.; "Talkin' Things Out" and "Make Your Own Style, Be Yourself". This program is ideal for schools wishing to introduce and sustain random acts of kindness, conflict resolution and decrease the effects of peer pressure. Pair it with "The Golden Rule" show and everyone wins!
