    Note to Parents Anime Parents, please be advised that there are a lim- ited number of movies in the Anime Progam which are appropriate for children under 12. Please take note of the ratings listed next to the movies. A document explaining the ratings will be posted on the Anime Room Door. Parents are strongly encouraged to take these ratings as a guide for what might or might not be inappropriate for their children to watch. In general, children under 14 should not be in the Anime Room room between 10 PM and 5 AM, but everything in the middle of the day should be ok for ages 14 and up. Children under 13 should be accompanied by a parent or guard- ian. We recommend that parents of teens sit and view a portion of an “MA” rated movie to decide if it is something they want their teen to view. Film Festival All of the entries being screened in the film festival up to 9:30 pm are what the selection committee estimated would be considered “G” or “PG” if they were rated. Entries screening after 9:40 pm range from estimated “G” to “R” rated, thus some movies screening after 9:40 pm may not be appropriate for children under 17 who are not accompanied by a par- ent or guardian. LARP Join the returning players in the 3rd year of the game H e r o e s & V i l l a i n s Register in the Valley Foyer Friday 5 to 9 pm and Saturday, 9 to 11 am.
