OK, I knew this was going to happen. With all the "Batstache Memes" that have become so popular I've been wondering when someone would capitalize off of it. Well, here ya go! It looks like the Archie McPhee™ company did just that. 

I spotted this one at my local OKC shopping mall inside a store called Toyko. But I bet you can find them at a place like Spencer's Gifts... or evil eBay.

On your next trip to TARGET please be sure to check their "Halloween section" for a special set of DC COMICS SUPER HEROES MINI-FIGURES! 

They are only $3.00 each and there are 8 different characters to collect: Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Catwoman, The Joker, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow!  

I bought the one of Batman the other night. Here's a SECRET TIP If he's the only one you want: Just squeeze around the packaging and you can feel Batman's "ears and cape". Then, just buy that one. 

But really, I also want the Joker and Catwoman too but I was afraid I'd probably end-up with some of the other characters, ha! But, I do have plans to go back and get these 2 Bat-Villains. 




Oh yeah, a special THANK YOU goes out to our friend, FRANK, for the heads-up on these and the wonderful photos too. I appreciate that very much!

Ten Facts About Child Illiteracy in America

0
0

At Arden Anne, we care a lot about child illiteracy right here in our backyard. That's why we donate a children's book with every purchase made on Arden Anne.

To know why we care so deeply about this issue, perhaps these ten facts - which you may already have seen in some list or another - will make you understand.

  1. Two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare.
  2. 1 in 4 children in America grow up without learning how to read.
  3. Kids who don't read proficiently by 4th grade are 4 times likelier to drop out of school. 
  4. As of 2011, America was the only free-market OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) country where the current generation was less well educated than the previous.
  5. Nearly 85% of the juveniles who face trial in the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate, proving that there is a close relationship between illiteracy and crime. More than 60% of all inmates are functionally illiterate.
  6. 53% of 4th graders admitted to reading recreationally “almost every day,” while only 20% of 8th graders could say the same.
  7. 75% of Americans who receive food stamps perform at the lowest 2 levels of literacy, and 90% of high school dropouts are on welfare.
  8. Teenage girls ages 16 to 19 who live at or below the poverty level and have below average literacy skills are 6 times more likely to have children out of wedlock than the girls their age who can read proficiently.
  9. Reports show that low literacy directly costs the healthcare industry over $70 million every year.
  10. In 2013, Washington, D.C. was ranked the most literate American city for the third year in a row, with Seattle and Minneapolis close behind, while Long Beach, CA was ranked the country’s most illiterate city, followed by Mesa, AZ, and Aurora, CO.

These statistics, which are factual, should frighten us all into taking action for our children. Please support our effort to reduce, and eventually end, child illiteracy in the world's most affluent country.
