How exciting it is to get a chance to perform with the San Francisco Ballet School.
Arriving at the Theater
AMS will be in the Level II class dance demonstration on May 26, 27 and 28 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA), SF. A number of her friends (and their parents) will travel from Palo Alto to see her dance and give their support.

Jan 14, 2010 (San Francisco, CA). The first parent observation was most enjoyable. The remarkable thing was how well synchronized the whole class was. They looked like “Corps de Ballet” as they danced in perfect unison through complex sequences. So beautiful.
The 4th Grade class had an overnight field trip to the Gold Country – to Coloma. This is near Sutter’s Mill, the site where gold was first discovered in California. They were on their field trip for 3 days and 2 nights.
Gold Rush Country Girl
The 4th graders “lived like” the people who came from all over the country and the world in the mid-1800’s, by the thousands, to seek their fortune from panning gold.

They wore close to authentic clothing and each were given a souvenir green bandanna. They also panned for gold and found a few flakes.
Happy Gold Rush Camper
They learned about how gold was panned from the rivers and streams in the area. They also learned about the history of California during the Gold Rush days.
This is the most memorable field trip for the 4th graders.
For Halloween, AMS wore an Ace of Spades costume that had been worn previously at Escondido by a former student some 15 years ago. The fingernails and lipstick fill-in the details add drama.
