Uwe, Stephanie and Shila arrived on time on Wednesday evening and we spent nearly the entire day yesterday at Greensburg Salem High School. After breakfast with Mrs. Grace's French class, we had a very informative tour from Principal Zilli. After stopping in on Mrs. Lyons' Spanish class and speaking with Mrs. Bevington's creative writing class (including enlisting a junior named Holly to write the end of a film that Uwe is working on in Germany), we visited with Mrs. Redinger's Biotechnology class. There was a lot of great dialogue with our German guests about genetically modified cats and fish . . . a dialogue I am sure will continue on their wiki space.
We then had lunch with students and teachers in the school library and met with the superintendant, Dr. Yarabinetz, who spoke to our guests about the district and its philosophy.
Returning to the Museum, the group had a tour with Barbara Jones and after some shopping, we were joined by Heather Berry and Brooke Leonard from MCCA for dinner. Shila, Stephanie, Brooke and Heather then enjoyed a performance by Kenny Blake as part of the Westmoreland Jazz Society concert series here at the Museum.
Tonight - we open the Transatlantic Journal Project exhibit along with the art exhibition of Mrs. Audia's Advanced Art Class. See you at the Museum at 6:30 pm!
