Art resources for kids
Check out this great site that provides links to all sorts of arts-related info for both students and teachers.

Our thanks go to the kids and teacher Carly Walters from the Amorita Charter School in OK, who someone tripped over the SCCA site and suggested that we add this link.

(Hmmm, maybe this has something to do with all those Oklahoma truck drivers zipping between the Marcellus wells.)

Simple Gifts
The return of the musical duo Simple Gifts, Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon, who first visited us in 2009, was a blast.

This time around, May 11, they held elementary school workshops and assemblies, with an evening family concert in the school auditorium.

These women are superb, wonderfully versatile instrumentalists, a folk-based act taking traditional tunes and re-imagining them in unique ways that still hold true to the original. Their repertoire includes all of Europe and the Mediterranean – for starters.

They also presented some of their own tunes, which have the same ageless quality and solid traditionalism.

Many, many thanks to Barb Murray, our music chair, for organizing the wholly delightful shebang.
