Dear Parents,
Your child is invited to participate in a VitalSmarts training video! In these videos, children will be asked to participate in different learning activities like playing a game or copying numbers on a flipchart. The purpose of these videos is to observe childrenâs reactions to different sources of influence in their environment. It will be a fun and educational experience for the children. Here’s an example of one.
Children will each receive $50 (holiday spending money!) for their participation and will be provided with refreshments during the shoot. Each childâs parent will be required to sign a video release form. This video will be used in VitalSmarts web site, training courses and speeches.
The video shoot will take place on Friday, Nov. 20, and Saturday, Nov. 21, at Noahâs event center in Lindon. (644 N. 2000 W., Lindon, UT 84042).
The following are the time slots and age requirements for the video shoot. The time slots are estimates at this point and we will follow up with exact times as soon as we can. Your child would need to be available for at least 4 hours.
Friday, November 20
– 3:30-6:30 p.m. (7-8 years old)
– 6:30-9:30 p.m. (7-8 years old)
Saturday, November 21
– 7:00 a.m.-12:00 noon (10-12 years old)
– 1:00-5:30 p.m. (9-10 years old)
– 5:30-9:30 p.m. (9-10 years old)
If you would like your child to participate, please email Darren Poulsen at dpoulsen@vitalsmarts.com with your preferred time slot by noon on Tuesday, November 17. Please include your childâs full name and his or her age. There is limited space available and we anticipate the time slots filling up quickly. During some of the activities your child may be asked to sample certain foods like cookies or spinach. Please indicate in your reply any food allergies your child may have.
Thank you for your help and willingness to participate. Weâre confident this will be a rewarding experience for both the parents and the children!
Respectfully,
The VitalSmarts Product Development Team
