Girl Scouts' Program Materials Win Awards
STUDIO 2B online (www.studio2b.org), the Girl Scout Web site for girls ages 11-17, is now "Parents' Choice Approved." It won the spring 2005 award for the Small Screen from Parents' Choice by exceeding standards set by educators, librarians, parents, and kids themselves. Fewer than 15% of all submitted items receive Parents' Choice Awards!
So have the girl in your life check out this award-winning Web site! If she enjoys the site, she'll also enjoy STUDIO 2B Focus: Express It! It's filled with activities that she can do on her own, or with her friends—each activity closely relates to different sections of the STUDIO 2B Web site.
