Green Toys sale at Amazon.com

Product Details
Amazon is having a sale on Green Toys. Green Toys are AWESOME! We have this sand set and it is fantastic. All Green Toys are made with 100% recycled milk jugs - no BPAs and no Phalates. The handle is a thick rope and the plastic is super thick and strong, not like the cheapo pail and shovel from Target. This set is usually $19.99 but I just got it on Amazon for $12.10. I also got the Recycling Truck for $14 instead of $25!
 Product Details
PLUS when you spend $20 on Green Toys on Amazon (Fulfilled BY Amazon) you get an instant $5 at checkout!!! Make sure to get up to $25 to get the Super Saver Shipping for FREE!!!

I just got 3 sets of the Sand Set (for gifts) and a Recycling Truck plus 2 books for the hubby for $50.00. I broke it into 2 orders of $25 each to get $5 off of each order (and free shipping).

All the Green Toys are awesome! Don't miss this deal!

'Race To Nowhere' Screening Thurs Oct 7th 2010

Race to Nowhere - The Dark Side of America's Achievement Culture
 
About the Film

Director Vicki Abeles turns the personal political, igniting a national conversation in her new documentary about the pressures faced by American schoolchildren and their teachers in a system and culture obsessed with the illusion of achievement, competition and the pressure to perform. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren’t developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what’s best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.

See a screening this Thursday Oct 7th at 7pm at the Times Cinema 5906 West Vliet Street, Milw.
