Dear Art Educators,

No one has said "boo" about Chinese New Year this
year. January 22 is Chinese New Year and it is the
Year of the MONKEY! What great fun you can have with
that. You can have all of your kiddies be monkeys for
the day (Remember Monkey/Ape School for Planet of the
Apes?).

If you are born in the Year of the Monkey, you are
very intelligent, well-liked by everyone, and will
have success in any field you choose. Lucky old you!

Famous people born in the Year Of The Monkey:
Sacha Distel, Elisabeth Taylor, Omar Sherif, Jimmy
Page, Roger Daltrey, George Lucas
