PubliCalendar: Stuff the Bus

These aren't oversized eighth graders, they're good people helping to Stuff the Bus.
Give the kids a hand this afternoon by trekking over to the Ballard Office Max, picking out a couple of good pens, a nice stapler, and maybe a three-ring binder or two, and adding them to the growing collection inside the yellow school bus in the parking lot. Can't get it done today? The bus will reappear at the U District Office Depot on Friday.
Too busy to go shopping? Send some dollars to the organization behind this event, Communities In Schools Seattle, online any time.
The Jack Straw writer's program has helped over 200 Pacific Northwest writers find their literary voice since its inception in 1997, and four members of this year's talented crop will be putting their work on display Thursday evening.
