Now more than ever, our children need parents to lead them. Authority that was once ascribed is more earned; popular culture and Internet and mobile technology expose and empower our children to engage in increasingly risky ideas and activities at earlier ages.

Olympus Jr. High Raises $800 in 3 hours

This fall at Olympus Jr. High School the parent community raised $800 in a couple of hours during registration day by signing up 160 households to receive Smart Money subscriptions to Banana Moments.

“We can’t teach what Banana Moments offers parents,” said Kelly Graham, Principal, “It’s a good message at a time when our children are exposed to so much through Internet-enabled tools.”

See the local newspaper article Banana Moments fundraiser for schools.
