LZE Videos Receive Two Thumbs Up!

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

We just received two excellent reviews from Midwest Book Review/Children’s Bookwatch. Read parts of the reviews below:

Layout 1Character: Friendship Basics

“In today’s bustling world brimming with technological gadgetry, basic face-to-face interpersonal skills are all too easily lost or forgotten in the shuffle. …an instructional DVD for building basic social skills…an excellent addition to school and public library collections…enthusiastically and highly recommended for showing students during homeroom.”

–Midwest Book Review/Children’s Bookwatch, June 2009

Layout 1C.A.T.C.H. Onto Good Hygiene

“Intended for young adult viewers in grades 4-8…educational DVD ideal for instructing young people about basic cleanliness and good hygiene practices…easy-to-follow demonstrations. An excellent educational resource especially recommended for public school library collections.”

Learning ZoneXpress Travel Update

Friday, June 26th, 2009

planeJust a quick LZE travel schedule update:

Angela returned from the Childhood Obesity Conference in Los Angeles with lots of energy. She was excited to see her friend Kathy from FlagHouse exhibiting at the conference and meet many LZE customers. A picture of her and the booth is coming soon.

Just yesterday Londa returned from the North Carolina School Nutrition Association (NC SNA) conference. She received great feedback about our bulletin boards and the new Barack Obama and Abe Lincoln Eat Smart Posters! Londa was very impressed with the level of professionalism and commitment shown by the people who stopped by her booth.

Next week, Londa and I will be exhibiting at the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference. We are looking forward to sharing new product releases and an update on the Extreme Cafeteria Makeover contest winner. See you in Vegas!
