Guest Presentation

This week we had a wonderful presentation from Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright who do a program in schools called "Voices of Nature". The age group is kindergarten to grade 6 and everyone in the school (all students and teachers) become involved. They teach the children songs that are about sustainability - recylcing, endangered species, environmental concerns. They wind up by producing a huge concert that is attended by family and friends. At this concert they ask the children what issues the songs raise and what can be done about it. The teachers receive a CD and Educators Handbook to help them cover the required school curriculum. This is a progam that as a club we may help sponsor in the Fall of 2008. In March 2009 they will do a Voices of Nature concert at the Orpheum!
