Awww what a great idea! My kids' school is doing this right now too... maybe I should make up a poster with Kennedy's pictures. I hope you guys raise a LOT of money!!!

hey, special k mommy, good to see you again. from your blog, looks as though you've been keeping busy. i think your poster idea is a great one. i know my students are always being hit up to donate for this and that, and they never really get a clear sense of where it's going. i've been talking with them about christian this week, and they've all been stopping to look at the pictures and read the captions. i challenged them by saying i'd match whatever they raise. they've been quite generous and serious about it these past two days. i'm impressed with their spirits.

ampersand, thanks; i hope we do, too. i've seen now what it can do to a kid -- a kid my students' age -- in just a matter of months. it's evil and it must be destroyed.
