Leave a comment

Lucky Kat TV and North America’s leading Kindergarten – 12th grade motivational speaker, Retro Bill, have recently partnered to release a combination live action/animation DVD The 7 RIGHT ONs of Good Character.

Los Angeles, CA, October 23, 2012 – Lucky Kat TV and North America’s leading Kindergarten – 12th grade motivational speaker, Retro Bill, have recently partnered to release a combination live action/animation DVD The 7 RIGHT ONs of Good Character. This highly anticipated video is available for purchase at award winning children’s “edutainment” site luckykattv.com.

Lucky Kat TV’s plucky characters, Lucky Kat and Lexie Kat, shine alongside Retro Bill in the high-energy, attention-grabbing video that blends Retro Bill’s signature fast paced live action with animation. Together, the team illustrates the seven elements of good character; how to use these traits to navigate everyday situations and the importance of a positive attitude, owning their actions and never giving up! Practicing these traits help kids to refrain from bullying, respond to bullying, and make positive life choices:

Respect

Integrity

Golden Rule

Honesty

Tolerance

Own It!

Never Give Up!

In his trademark upbeat and high-energy style, Retro Bill moves between the worlds of live action and animation with Lucky & Lexie. Together, they bring to life The 7 RIGHT ONs of Good Character.

According to Retro Bill, “When I met the team at Lucky Kat TV it was creative kismet. We each deliver the same message of self-empowerment to children, and it’s always been my dream to blend live action with animation. I think parents, teachers, coaches and mentors alike will find the tools we offer to be helpful in their continued effort to promote self-esteem, safety and cooperation in kids!”

Retro Bill – the alter ego of writer, producer and director Bill Russ – delivers a powerful message to children across the nation – dreams do come true. Taking his high-energy anthem on the road some 300 days each year across the U.S. and Canada, Retro Bill speaks to millions of children and parents about physical and online safety, bullying, and self-esteem.

“The epidemic of bullying across our communities and schools has rightfully garnered national attention. We believe building strong character in our children is the first step in prevention, and Retro Bill’s unique style connects with kids in a meaningful way. He never patronizes them, and instead illustrates how to enlist help and embrace their own better instincts to stay safe and healthy,” said Lucky Kat TV’s Tammy Schroeder.

Sweet Alexis & Lucky Kat TV team up to Showcase Tips and Advice on the Web for Parents Coping with Children’s Food Allergies

Leave a comment

Lucky Kat TV will partner with Michele Fellows, owner of Sweet Alexis Bakery, to deliver tips, information and advice on Lucky Kat TV’s blog

Los Angeles, CA, March 09, 2012 – Lucky Kat TV will partner with Michele Fellows, owner of Sweet Alexis Bakery, to deliver tips, information and advice on Lucky Kat TV’s blog, ( http://luckykattv.com/parents-blog/ ) empowering and connecting parents coping with food allergies in some 3 million children across the United States.

According to the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN):

* Food allergies are on the rise; more than 12 million Americans have food allergies. That’s one in 25, or 4 percent of the population.

* Eight foods account for 90 percent of all food-allergic reactions in the U.S.: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.

* Peanut allergies doubled in children over a five-year period (1997-2002), and food allergies are present the most in young children – one in 17 among those under age 3.

Sweet Alexis, located in Los Osos, California, serves up fresh, homemade cookies, breads, cakes and muffins free of wheat, dairy, tree-nuts and eggs and their derivatives. Fellows named the business for her now 10 years old daughter, Alexis, who suffers from life-threatening food allergies and asthma.

“We have to be vigilant 24/7 to keep Alexis safe. Even casual contact with an allergen could send her into anaphylactic shock. I opened Sweet Alexis to offer her, and other families, delicious, attractive treats they could pack in lunches and bring to parties,” said Fellows.

“We’re really excited to welcome Michele to our team. She’s turned her passion for creating allergen-free treats into a thriving business, and also created a platform for increased awareness in her community. As a guest blogger on our website, she’ll serve up tips, information, recipes, and of course, a bit of fun for parents coping with food allergies both mild and severe,” said Tammy Schroeder, President at LKTV Productions.

Lucky Kat TV.com, an “edutainment” website, offers a safe, secure place for children ages 5 – 10 to learn, play, and create video content to share. During their journey through Katalina Island, children board a cruise ship and navigate the continents, earning points to build their own islands and add the amenities of their choice. Many of the games meet with National Academic Standards. The theme, “Believe in Your Dreams … Anything is Possible!” is introduced through Lucky Kat’s 4 Steps to Success: 1. Dream It! 2. Believe It! 3. Plan It 4. Do It!

In 2012 Lucky Kat TV.com earned a coveted seal of endorsement from Parent Tested, Parent Approved (PTPA). Visit www.luckykattv.com
