GEAR UP Web Site Awards
 
Back to About Us




This web site award is presented only to Internet sites that take a proactive position regarding Internet safety. It is not easily awarded, but is presented following a strict scrutiny of several factors applied to your web site.

Winners of this award have displayed a genuine concern for the safety of those who utilize the Internet, and it's resources, and through sacrifice and a great deal of effort continue to fight for those who have already become, or would become victims in cyberspace, or in the real world.

We also urge you as students or parents to view our "safe surfing page" for more safe internet surfing recommendations.
