It has been brought to my attention, thank you Mrs. Talley 
, that ActivInspire has an update. This is very easy to install. On the Dashboard (comes up when the program 1st starts) there is a Configure… link. Click on it, then click on Check for Updates. All you have to do now is pick the positive answer (Yes, OK, Install, Run, etc). This should not take very long.
There is also an update for Vista. If you have a Vista machine look for the update icon near the clock. This update DOES take a while to install (several hours sometimes). Please install it at the end of the day or over the weekend. Just leave your computer on after you have clicked on install. This only pertains to the Vista machines. If you have XP or windows 2000 you don’t need to worry about it.

Each year, more than 164 million school days are lost due to illness*, which could be greatly reduced with proper handwashing. That’s why NSF International created the Scrub Club® – to raise awareness about the benefits of handwashing and ultimately improve the health of children and reduce school sick days. The Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) has partnered with NSF on this groundbreaking initiative.
Scrub Club® to the Rescue
The Scrub Club® program is the first of its kind – a fun, interactive and educational Web site (www.scrubclub.org) that teaches children the proper way to wash their hands. The site consists of a Webisode interactive games, educational music, downloadable activities for kids, educational materials for teachers and program information for parents.
