Dear 4th Grade Parents,
If your child has seen last year's Willy Wonka Kids, I hope they enjoyed it and are excited to join this year's musical: TREASURE ISLAND. The musical is full of pirate characters including Long John Silver and his talking parrot! Young Jim Hawkins is an ordinary boy looking forward to Halloween. Jim's fantasy comes to life when pirate Billy Bones steps right into his bedroom! Suddenly we're swept into the action of high seas adventure. Billy Bones leaves Jim a treasure map and we're off! Sailing on the Hispaniola to Skeleton Island! The ship's crew are a rowdy bunch, who are whipped into mutiny by the one-legged Long John Silver! Lots of fun and adventure!
TREASURE ISLAND

ABOUT ME. I have over twenty years of training in movement, dance, voice and acting, in Paris and in California. A graduate from the Movement Based Expressive Arts Therapy and Education program at Tamalpa Institute, I teach Expressive Arts at HaoExpression and help at Cassand Ballet administratively and artistically.
I am a Stocklmeir mom and have been involved in the school's artistic and educational programs since 2005, serving as a PTA 2nd VP Program (2006-2008), a 5th Grade Opera Committee member (2008-2010), but also a Room Rep and/or an Art Docent (2005-now). For more information about my work and myself, please check

Actors: Wednesday & Thursday, 3:15pm-4:30pm, December 4th - February 27th.
Tech Crew: Wednesday & Thursday, 3:15pm-4:30pm, February 12-27th.
If your child has other after school commitments on Wednesday or Thursday, then they should not choose Actor or Tech Crew, but may sign up for Costumes or Scenery as those meet mostly at noontime.
DONATION. We are asking a donation of $30 or whatever amount is comfortable to you, to support the musical. The PTA is co-funding the project. No child will be denied participation if the family is unable to make the donation. Refunds cannot be given to students who change their minds about attending. All donations will go towards the musical and performing arts materials or equipment.
VOLUNTEER. This program can only be successful if parents help by volunteering their time to be at rehearsal supervision, costume crew, scenery crew, and tech crew (Lights, camera, sound). If we do not get enough parent support the musical may have to be cancelled.
SIGNUP. Deadline: November 22. - 4pm
1. Sign your child up: go to
www.haoexpression.org/musical.html, click on "Stocklmeir 4G Musical signup here!"
2. Sign yourself up for volunteer: on the same page, click on "Parent Volunteer signup here!" and pick one or two spots.
3. Make a donation check payable to STOCKLMEIR PTA and send to the school office by Nov. 22, 2013, 4pm.
I am looking forward to an enriching adventure with your children. If you have any question or concern please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hao Bach-Thai Lueckhoff
