When my daughter was a year old, we were in a playgroup with about ten mothers and their babies. This being Los Angeles County, three of the ten women had "Schwarzenegger stories," tales of working on film sets with Arnold Schwarzenegger. (I laughed. Then he became governor. Then he got reelected governor.)Now, there will be a whole new genre of "Schwarzenegger stories" among the young families of Los Angeles, because the CHIME Elementary School in Woodland Hills, a charter school that's an internationally-recognized model program of inclusive education, is renaming itself after the Governator, as the "CHIME Institute's Arnold Schwarzenegger Elementary School."
“I am honored to have a high-quality institution like CHIME Charter Elementary named in my honor. The CHIME Institute shares my commitment to educating all children,” said Governor Schwarzenegger.
Wow. And the new school mascot will be... ? The mind boggles.
