Wendy & "Mouse" the Baby Blue Whale

Peter dropping some whale knowledge on his audience

 Wow! Whale week at JME has been AWESOME!! I've been getting whale facts from my daughter all week long! Did you know a whale's tongue weighs as much as an elephant? Crazy huh?  Monday was a whale of an event - Superintendent Rami Muth called all the elementary school families & invited them to check out the whale skeleton & our very own model whale. During the few hours I was there, we had a constant flow of kids come in to check out the whale. At any given point there were about 20 kids inside the whale learning all about the friendly, smart mammals from Wendy or Peter while more kids were lining up for their turn in the whale. In addition to our own JME Timberwolves, I saw kids from John Swett, Morello Park & even kids all the way from Stranwood!! Parents & students all loved checking out the skeleton & the blubber experiment as well.

A HUGE thanks to Wendy for putting so much time & effort & just plain LOVE into this experience for our lucky kids at John Muir! A shout out to Peter Crowley, Amanda Tamo, Jen Kennedy, Suzy Snyder, Melvy Exline, Emily Selby, Carrie McConn, Gwen, Kelly Jensen, Sheilah Young, & Dan Sudran of Mission Science Workshop for bringing the skeleton! Thank you so much to all the folks that helped make our Whale Week fantastic!
