Most Dangerous Toys


Nearly 2/3 of all toy sales take place during the holiday season. Some toys made a list that no toy wants to make... a "10 Worst" list for child safety. To keep kids safe, non-profit safety organization W.A.T.C.H. released its nominees for the annual "10 Worst Toys List." Safety advocates remind parents not to be fooled by  name brands and fance packaging. Despite decades of consumer safety efforts, serious safety hazards are surprisingly common.

 

"When we go out into toy stores and see a lot of the same hazards that we've seen year after year on the shelves - then we know not enough is happening," says James Swartz, W.A.T.C.H. Director.

In the past year alone, there have been 31 recalls representing 4,640,000 dangerous toys. Choking remains the biggest threat. So which toys are the worst to buy this year? Here's the list:

1. DISNEY-PIXAR WALL-E FOAM ROCKET LAUNCHER

2. MOON BOARD POGO BOARD

3. CURIOUS BABY CURIOUS GEORGE COUNTING – MY FIRST BOOK OF NUMBERS

4. THE DARK KNIGHT BATMAN FIGURE

5. X-MEN ORIGINS SLASHIN' ACTION WOLVERINE

6. LOTS TO LOVE BABIES – “mini nursery”

7. JUST KIDZ JUNIOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

8. CAT “rugged mini”

9. PUCCI PUPS MALTESE

10. SPY GEAR VIPER-BLASTER

We've Got Spirit - Des Arc
 category: Pep Rally


It's another week of the "We've Got Spirit" pep rallies! This morning Jessica Dean went to Des Arc to be a part of the excitement as the Eagles get ready to take on the Clarendon Lions tonight for their big homecoming football game! Everyone was wearing their green, and they even welcomed Jessica with a green jersey to get into the Eagle school spirit! The band was playing and the dance team was in step, cheerleaders were revving the crowd and even the football players came to get pumped up!  Who knew there could be such school spirit so early in the morning!
