What's New Casting for Original Murder MysteryTwenty-four actors read scenes on Monday afternoon, August 23, hoping to play one of the sixteen roles in UNDER THE SURFACE. Inevitably, some of them will be disappointed. But, speaking before the audition, eighth grader Katie Fallon reassured the hopeful young actors that there would be more opportunities coming up this year. In early November, we'll start rehearsals for a child-centered comedy that I expect to offer as a special school-day performance for the Lower School in early February.

 Atlanta Jazz...is discussed in I Was Doing All Right, a blog by "an aspiring jazz trumpeter." It features profiles and appearance information for local talents.I reviewed a jazz recital by pianist Johnny O'Neal on my blog. Appreciation
Friday October 2, 2009 was "Faculty Appreciation Night" at the Walker School's Football Game. Coach Ben Williamson asked me to be there, but he didn't warn me that it would mean so much. Here's part of the text read at the football game, while I stood with three other teachers in players' jerseys: Freshman linebacker and fullback Patrick McPherson chose to honor Walker teacher Scott Smoot. Patrick writes: 'Mr. Smoot has been the most influential teacher I have ever had. He is a teacher who has really made me push myself. His class has really helped me develop a passion for history and enthusiasm for school. Everyday Mr. Smoot was as fast-paced and intense as any teacher I would see that day. Mr. Smoot is by far my favorite teacher and I can't thank him enough for what he did for me.' Patrick chose the words I have most wanted to hear from a student. As Principal Blair Fisher observed, it's especially meaningful coming from Patrick, who is a perceptive judge of character. So it is my turn to express appreciation. |
