Kid’s Strategic Plan for Schoolyard Festival Unfolds With Surgical Precision

The Daily Kina

“One, face paint; two, paint nails; three, bouncy castle w/friends”

Kina knows that face painting is always the longest line, and so she shows up early. The bouncy castle, however, is forever. And ever. And ever.

Yesterday’s schoolyard festival was, as you might imagine, a fundraiser for Kina’s school budget—gutted, as I am obligated to remind you, by our city’s current administration. I thought of you all as I forked over cash for face painting and bouncy castles. This is all worth it.

If you have been thinking, “oh hey let me fix public education by reading The Daily Kina,” you still have a fighting chance at funding this month’s donation drive (currently at $15, which can buy around two reams of copier paper) by upgrading to a “premium subscription” at this button I just learned that you could put in an email:

Upgrade now

Dang! That’s a sweet button! Smoosh it and donate whatever you’d like—a dollar, five dollars, ten thousand million dollars if you are a multi-billionare (because Kina thinks that’s an astonishingly large number, and because billionaires ought to be on the hook to fix public education). Anyhow, our publisher and her elementary school will be grateful.
