Update: West Seattle Montessori ‘flash mobs’ for Japan relief

1:20 PM: We’re in The Junction, one of two locations where West Seattle Montessori/West Seattle Academy (WSB sponsor) students are collecting donations (and some are playing music too!) for Red Cross relief to Japan, till 2 pm. You’ll find them on all four corners of “Walk All Ways” at California/Alaska – also at Alki.

ADDED 1:46 PM: At Alki, they’re right at 61st/Alki, at the staircase by Statue of Liberty Plaza:

5:16 PM NOTE: We checked with teacher Matt Evans, who organized this, to ask about the end result. He says, “We’ll be counting the donations in the morning and I’ll let you know what we collected at each location as soon as it’s all totaled up early tomorrow. Thanks again, it was a great experience for our students and a huge success for our community and Japan.”

    Just wanted to thank Matt and his students for their music and fundraising for Japan. I stopped on Alki to give my donation and in return I was offered a choice of beautiful wire bookmarks. I didn’t accept because I still had a few more miles to go on my run, but I wanted to let the students know how wonderful it was to hear their music and see their generous efforts on a glorious sunny afternoon!

Sorry, comment time is over.
