I’m going to the school board meeting tomorrow to voice my concern. It’s the first time I’ve ever done this, but I realize that folk need to speak up. By the way, the play was great! It was completely insane and very funny and I loved watching the students throw themselves into their roles. Art makes a difference and play works!

Our youngest was adopted from China at age 3. She came to us speaking Mandarin ONLY and she also has physical challenges in her arms, elbows and fingers. Within 3 months she spoke perfect English for a 3 y/o and it was achieved all through creative play, music, art, etc… It breaks my heart that the little ones must be so techinally advanced when all they really want to do and NEED to do is play. My eldest is 16 and he too comes alive on stage or in his writing. I feel taking that away will hurt not help our children. PRAYING for things to go back to the old-school ways!!!

Many Blessings,
Amy <
