Culture Fair

Andrew's culture fair project was on display last night along with all the other 8th grader's. There was lots of food - so much that we didn't go out for dinner afterwards as we had planned. Mali and Andrew filled up on Maddie's pot stickers. I sampled all kinds of stuff: Scottish Tablet, a very nice goat's cheese and olive tapenade, and a variety of other ethnic foods.
Andrew's project was on Rutherford B. Hayes, his presidency, and his location in Andrew's (Susy's) family tree.
We met Maddie's parents, her mom (Sharon) is from the Chicago area, and her father is Chinese and plans to help Maddie and Andrew in their Chinese class next year. We also saw a huge number of kids we knew - many we hadn't seen in apparently a very long time, as they have really changed.
