    I had a JH teacher that invited our parents to take us to the Alley Theater
    in Houston for a performance of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". She
    got the tickets donated somehow even though our parents could afford them.
    Parents who hadn't shown up for school events from the day they registered
    their kids for Kindergarten came. I say go for it, even if you only get one
    or two parents the first time you try. Think of the impact positive parent
    involvement could have on your kids and program. You might even have one or
    two parents that would already feel the importance of such a visit and bring
    several kids from your class. BTW Mrs. Lindsey and Mrs. Woods, who
    arranged the trip to the Alley, were two of the best teachers I ever had. I
    credit them with helping me transition from kids books series into more
    sophisticated literature especially "hard science" science fiction and
    British mysteries.

    Subject: MOMA, New York

    I just went to see the Modern Starts exhibit at MOMA....Seeing van Goghs,
    Matisses, Rousseaus, Monets etc. all together in the same place at the same
    time.....was just breathtaking....we teach it every day....a a a a n n n d d
    d to see them in person.....if you live anywhere new NYC...try to get there.

    What do you think about making a blanket invitation to parents to meet me
    with thier kids at the museum one Sat.? Do you think that would be unfair to
    students who could not come? But my school does not allow trips and it
    would
    atleast give the students whose parents would take them the opportunity to
    experience art first hand????What do you think????? robin.
