Cranes for Japan
My local neighborhood blog, MyBallard.com has a great story about my some kids at my son’s elementary school making paper cranes to support rebuilding efforts after the Japanese earthquake/tsunami. The cranes project is through Students Rebuild, and will be part of a permanent art installation in Japan. Each crane donated was matched with $2 from the Bezos Family Foundation and the Whittier kids helped raise over $3,000!

The article talks a little bit about how the students were directly affected by the Japan disaster and is worth a read.
Well done third graders (and a shout out to Ms. Kennedy, Nate’s teacher last year and one of his favorites ever)!
Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday!
Please do not give Mom a FCBD book as a Mother’s Day gift, but feel free to use the opportunity to pick up something cool from your local comic shop (I suggest the TPBs of Fables or Y: The Last Man if she hasn’t read them and the game Munchkin if she has).
If you are in Seattle head to Arcane Comics and More in Ballard. If you’re not in Seattle you can use the store locator here to find a participating shop near you.
We take the kids every year, and there’s always a gem or two in the selection. Supervise your littles though, as some stores have the kid-appropriate titles mixed in with the very NOT kid-appropriate stuff.
Don’t forget to enter the Wally the Wonderbug giveaway and be sure to check out some Nerdy Mother’s Day Gifts.
