Twilight Star at Grand Ave. School

Peter Facinelli the actor who stars as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight Movie, came to greet students earlier this month. He talked about the fun he had making the movie, its huge success among teenagers, (and moms like me) and spent time initiating impromptu character acting among some 8th graders.
