Dear Parents:                                                                                        March 10, 2014

      What great fun the Talent Shows were this year!  The variety was exceptional! 

    We appreciate the comments from parents after the program and the calls that came in later from parents  in support of the efforts to integrate fine arts into the regular schedule of the students.    We are proud of the students! 

    We want to express specific praise to the production team, led by Casey Jackman and Hank Huang.  Other members are Michelle Hsieh, Arielle Esteban, Hibiki Tsuyoshi, Adam Yi, Jill Kung, Moses Ibrahim, Kate Park, Sharah Roh, and Karen Yu.  They were responsible for the unusual, but clever Airlines theme, and for all other aspects of the production: design, power point, programs, script, sound and lighting.  We thank Mrs. Owens who served as their faculty advisor and contributed many hours of creative assistance. 

    Thank you for your support, as you encouraged your son/daughter through the rehearsal phases of the program.  I asked one student, “Which is more stressful for you, competing in a race or the Talent Show?”  His answer was quick and definitive; “Of course, the Talent Show!”  The students get excited and push themselves to do what is sometimes outside of their comfort zone, and the rewards are bountiful.
