The Wizard of Oz , April 30th, Auburn

Hi there! 

We wanted to invite you to come see the play The Wizard of Oz which I  have been directing (and Kally Bye has been co-directing - being the drama star herself and excellent acting coach!)  

The play is going to be performed by the high school drama class which  I have been teaching this semester over at Inspire Learning Academy in Auburn (Calvary Chapel Crossroads South campus). Of course, we think this group of kids are great and really very good...PLUS  Laurel Steward is the Tinman...so you gotta come!

Should be fun so please plan to come to one of the performances! I've attached the flyer with the info. Help spread the word too!

Blessings - Jennifer Steward

ABOUT THE PROGRAM: A Touch of Understanding (ATOU) provides disability awareness programs designed to educate a new generation to understand the challenges associated with disabilities and to accept and respect all individuals. Incorporated in 1996, A Touch of Understanding is a nonprofit organization comprised of dedicated individuals, some with disabilities and some without. These dedicated volunteers come together to form a strong team working to help students look beyond the disability, the wheelchair, the braces, the unpredictable behavior and see the person. The program is geared toward elementary through high school students. Each student participates in our two-part program:

In the activity portion of our program, students use wheelchairs and mobility canes, write in Braille, handle braces and artificial limbs, and participate in a mirror-writing activity to understand the frustration of a learning disability.

They also meet with our volunteers who have disabilities, who share their insight and experiences with humor and honesty.
The program works by turning negative attitudes into positive ones and facilitating stronger interpersonal skills within the next generation. Attitudes improve and respectful interactions increase. Comments from students following the presentations remind us how important our work is! Check out the website at:
http://www.touchofunderstanding.org/for-schools/teachers/how-the-program-works/ for a more detailed explanation.

To register: Start a new comment with name and age/grade of students in your family that are attending. Also include how you plan to pay (cash or PayPal).

Marisa and Carrie will be chaperoning. Parents wishing to stay are free, but MUST be repsectful of the presentation by limiting personal conversations.
