ALLEGRA BOVERMAN/Staff photo. Gloucester Daily Times. Rockport: Rockport Elementary School will join thousands of schools, libraries, and community groups nationwide in a coordinated effort to encourage millions of Americans to turn off televisions, computers, and video games for seven days. Starting Monday, April 30 through May 6, the school is encouraging its pupils to "turn on" the world around them as they turn off all their electronic diversions. From left are Natalie Lamond, 7, at the house of her friend Ella Lorenz, 6, center, and little sister Tessa, 2 all of Rockport. The two older girls are making a poster about activities they can do while not watching television, such as playing tag, charades, jumping rope, hula hooping, and so on.
