| On February 13, 2006 Michael Parent
put on an excellent performance for students in grades K-2 from Cushing
Community School (CCS). Parents were invited to attend and an announcement
of the event was published in the local paper. The children from CCS immensely
enjoyed listening to Michael Parent’s storytelling. The crowd of over
50 children and adults were all totally mesmerized by Michael’s animated
stories, unique musical instruments, and fantastic juggling acts. It is
very difficult to captivate children at this age for an entire hour, but
Michael did so without even a squirm from his audience. As children were
leaving the auditorium, they exclaimed in excitement to Michael comments
such as “You’re awesome!” or “Hey, did you know
that you are a very funny guy?” and “Wow! You’re cool!”.
Michael’s intriguing presentation impressed teachers and adults and
put smiles on many faces. The field
trip was a valuable educational experience for both children and adults
who attended and was well worth the time taken away from the classroom.
The teachers and students in Grades K-2 at Cushing Community School are
thankful for having had the opportunity to see such a talented entertainer
and greatly appreciate Debby Atwell’s enthusiastic offer to provide
us with such an exciting experience. |
