Hewes Middle School in Tustin, California (Orange County) is having its triennial Career Day on Friday, May 23, 2008. Questionnaires were given to the students asking them what their "dream" careers would be. More than 60 students reported that if they could be anything in the world, they would choose to be animator/illustrators. Teacher Victoria Rutledge is trying to find someone in the industry who would be willing to come and share their experience with these kids who share your passion for animation. These kids chose animation over movie star, pro athlete, rock star, etc. They really love art and would be so thrilled to hear from a professional in the industry. Any animators in Southern California who might be able to speak at Career Day, contact Rutledge at vrutledge@ca.rr.com, 714 838 5522 (home) or 714 402 3531 (cell).
