Leaving LawsonMarch 27th, 2008
Hello again, I feel like an old pro at this point. In the last two days, I’ve visited three schools and only managed to hit one poor unsuspecting girl with a chocolate eyeball (I threw one into the audience and must have let it get away from me because it hit the ceiling and then came straight down). For your amusement (but probably not much) I’ve attached a photo of me in front of Lawson Middle School. Lawson, I must say, has a pretty sweet auditorium. After Lawson, it was onto In the afternoon, Mrs. LaCrosse was kind enough to fit me into Woodside School’s schedule. Woodside is probably the most scenic school I’ve been to yet — tucked away in the mountains. Thanks to Mrs. MarkdaSilva, who came up with a great activity during my visit there, using song lyrics — I don’t think I’m ever going to forget a particular quote about brains and peanuts that one of the students came up with. And I’ll leave you with some totals and a lyric from another student at Woodside: ”I’ve never been a fan of long goodbyes.” Very appropriate. Number of Students Talked to: 1,950 |

School Tour Blast-off!March 25th, 2008A HUGE thank you to Kennedy Middle School in Cupertino. I completed my first stop on my Otherworldlies School Tour and I could not have asked for a better jumping off point. There were some really excellent questions. Special thanks to Mrs. Headley for organizing such a great event! Also, I have to give a shout out to Kirsten, Josh and Rahmi (if I’ve mispelled those names, shoot me an email and I’ll fix it) — who were all stupendous volunteers. Stay tuned for more pictures and reports from Kennedy and beyond! Because it’s going to be a whirlwind few months, I’m keeping a running tally to keep track. So here goes . . . |
