Chase Street Elementary School 757 North Chase Street Athens, Georgia 30601 (706) 543-1081 FAX: (706) 357-5249 November 17, 1998 Dear Puffin Foundation, On behalf of Chase Street, I would like to thank you for sponsoring the "Pam Blanchard and the Sunny-Side Up Band" performance. What a well-planned program! Two weeks before the performance Pam Blanchard provided our music teacher with cassettes of various songs so the students were ready to sing and participate at the assembly. And sing they did! On the day of the assembly, our pre-kindergarteners through first grade students marched into the activity building and the fun began. They danced, sang, and moved around the room listening to Pam sing and following her direction explicitly. While the activity was very interactive and stimulating, Pam had control of her audience at all times. Your decision to fund this performance allowed our students to experience a "real live concert" -- something that we would not be able to afford without special funding. I hope that you will consider replicating this effort with other schools. Again, many thanks for continuing the dialogue between learning and music and hats off to Pam Blanchard and the Sunny-side Up Band! Sincerely, June Wilhoit Principal
