Last night was Culture Night at Tyson's middle school, and kids were encouraged to bring displays for various countries/cultures. We thought it would be a perfect opportunity to share our International Teddy Bear Exchange with our local community.
Tyson worked on his board for several days- we printed off a lot of photos from the blog for him to use, and he did a fantastic job on it!
It was quite serendipitous that he had chosen to put England on the left side of the board, because to the left of us was a table that had been set up with English tea & scones! Mmm...very tasty!
Here's tag with a special little suitcase we made for him. He was happy to meet all of Tyson's classmates and show off the photos of his travels.
One of the more fun parts of Tyson's presentation was this voting opportunity to decide where Tag should go next. We had little slips of paper with teddy bears on them- red dot teddies for Japan, green slash teddies for Africa. The voting was very close, but the winner was...

JAPAN!
By just two votes.
So we will be spending the next few months searching for a good host family and making "travel arrangements" (well, buying a nice envelope at least). Can't wait to see what Tag will get to do in Japan!
