<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to all of you who responded to my
question with support, concern and ideas. My deadline is Monday Feb 11 to tell
the students what we will be doing, so all of the brainstorming on line has been
encouraging and helpful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have forwarded all the replies to the group, hope that's ok. I just
thought you would like to read some of the ideas. Please don't panic. It's not a
virus.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our Theatre program is well</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>established, and the students have been exposed to
a lot of great theatre over the years, so I am not worried about their
commitment and dedication to the project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will keep everyone informed as to my final
decision, but in the meantime In have attached a copy of a speech I gave at a
Student Conference on the Arts recently. The "suits" (aka my bosses at the board
office) in the crowd thought I had come pretty close to the line, but I needed
to tell the story anyway.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The kids loved it, and my students who attended the
conference thought that I predicted the future accurately.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enjoy the weekend everyone. Thanks
again.</FONT></DIV>
