Winter Extravaganza







A difficult word to say, became a really wonderful charitable-donation-raising performance.



In the Iowa City Public Library this year, on Monday night, February 22, 2010, with extensive preparation and dedication from the Apple Tree faculty. Especially the two beautiful ladies pictured, Olivia's teachers Stephanie Paulsen and Megan Sieverding. You have our sincere gratitude and admiration.



Olivia was an Owl that decided to crawl into a lost mitten to escape the cold, along with 15 or so other animals, from the beautiful Jan Brett story "The Mitten". She left her costume on very well as long as was necessary, then went on to give dance and sight-reading performances with her Kindermusick class, led by her extremely talented teacher Jodi Landeros. That's right, sight reading. Rhythms of eighth and quarter notes, with rests, but still. I am extremely impressed.



Olivia was, and continues to be, wonderful. We were so proud of her.
