Peace Like A River by Leif Enger

Mock Trial 2011

We wanted to update you on our Paper Cranes for Japan project. We have over 2,500 cranes now, and we will ship them to the Bezos Family Foundation for their donation for Japan.

Thank you for your generosity, Central! You are truly an amazing community of people, and we feel blessed to be a part of this fabulous school.

I don't know how many of you have interest in this article about the Bezos Scholar Program, but this is how I was able to attend the Aspen Ideas Festival last summer. I attended with Jonathon O'Leary, a senior, who is featured several times in the video in the article. There is also one picture of me in the video (by the way, my husband, Ralph, took the picture of us on the bridge, so his photo has now been used in national media) - oh boy! Jonathon and I planned Greenovation together which ended up being a great success. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy seeing this, as we have really hit the "big time" with the Huffington Post!
