Thank you PTO!
The opera has come and gone, and what a great day it was! A huge thank you to the PTO for sponsoring this event for the past 6 years. The students enjoyed the opera and thought it was the best ever. A big thank you to the teachers and Ms. Dolezal who allowed their students to dress as pirates, it made the day a very special.
Opera for the Young has enjoyed coming to Longfellow the past few years, they always compliment us on how well we sing.
Here are a few student comments:
"I loved this opera and I hope you come back!" S. Grade 3
"I always thought opera was boring, but now I see it is exciting." D. Grade 3
"I loved the singing, because you're talented and good." Annon. Grade 5
"I liked the clothes and props you used." H. Grade 5
"I really liked Frederic and the part when the Major General was sad" D. Grade 2
"I loved the performance and the acting was very nice." E. Grade 2
"I liked when Fredric found out he was five." It was a very cool play. A. Grade 4
"I liked the song about the weather, and the part about 'how stealthily the pirate creeps'" Annon Grade 4
A huge BRAVO, to Longfellow staff and students!

The Opera is coming. . .
Once again the Longfellow PTO is funding Opera for the Young to come to Longfellow Elementary. This year our opera is Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. The students are enjoying learning the story and singing the songs for this opera. Our performance will be on October 27, at 9:00 am in our gymnasium, complete with 4 principal singers, a pianist, student performers, costumes and an enthusiastic audience. Once again, thank you Longfellow PTO, this is our 6th opera here at Longfellow!

About Me
I grew up in northern Minnesota on a dairy farm, two of my brothers are also farmers. I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota and then moved with my husband to Oak Park. I have lived in Oak Park since 1975. In 1999 I completed a Masters Degree in curriculum and instruction at Concordia University, River Forest, IL.
My husband was on the Oak Park Fire Department for years, he now does plan review for the Village of Skokie. I have two children who attended the Oak Park Public Schools. My son graduated from the University of Montana in Forestry and has been working as a fire resource person at the Grand Canyon. My daughter is attending Northern Illinois University and is pursuing a degree in special education.
I have taught in several Oak Park Elementary Schools, but am thrilled to be here at Longfellow in the penthouse suite on the third floor. It gets a bit warm, but our music making is cool.
I am an Orff-certified teacher of elementary music, I currently teach students in grades 1-5 for general music class. We also have a 4th and 5th grade chorus that meets on Wednesday afternoons. I also wear another hat within the district. I am the Teacher Leader for the Vocal/General Music department, we have a wonderful music program in this district and I have a great group of colleagues work with. It is so wonderful to work so closely with each of the district teachers, they are a fantastic group of people.
