Kitties!
1. Echo the cheetah at the National Zoo gave birth to four cubs this week, and you can view them via web cam. (It’s actually very mesmerizing and calming to watch.)
2. Strathmore has moved some of its programming online. Family Jam Sessions that take place at the Mansion will now livestream via the Strathmore Facebook Page. Join one this morning at 10:15am — Discover Bluegrass Music with Brad Kolodner. And next Saturday, April 18, at 10:15am, Discover Folk Music with Maureen Andary. Past sessions, including an intro to hip hop by Christylez Bacon and Intro to Steelpan Drumming with Josanne Francis, are available to view online. Find more info on Strathmore offerings here.
3. For all the cheesy peops… First, if you love a good cheese plate, you must follow @thatcheeseplate on IG. Also, you might be excited to hear there’s a challenge to create your own plate with local cheeses. This could even be a fun activity with kids if they dig cheese and playing with food, too.
4. DC Food Project has launched an Emergency Weekend Bag program, working with partner schools throughout DC, to help students and families get what they need during this challenging time. Please consider helping, too, by supporting their efforts with a donation.
5. If you’re an Amy Schumer fan, I highly recommend The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. I just started reading it and have been LOLing a ton — so great for right now.
