Albemarle County Schools Adult Education’s ESOL Partners in  
Leadership Sponsors a Special Evening of International Dance

"From Many Nations ... To One Community,” a special evening of  
international dance featuring local Irish, Chinese, African, Latin  
and American dance groups demonstrating  the universality of dance as  
an expression of culture and community. This showcase is brought to  
you by Albemarle County Schools Adult Education’s ESOL Partners in  
Leadership, a group of adult English language and civics students.  
The group’s goal is to develop and demonstrate their leadership  
potential while, at the same time, contribute to the community at  
large. They have partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater  
Charlottesville to raise the funds for and construct a simple,  
decent, affordable home for a low-income working family to realize  
the dream of homeownership. This program is made possible through the  
generosity of a Community Performance Access Grant from The Paramount  
Theater.

Friday, March 14, 2008, 7:30 p.m.

215 East Main Street

Kid Pan Alley

WHAT IS KID PAN ALLEY?

Imagine what it be like to be child writing a song in their classroom  
with a professional songwriter. And suppose that your song was  
recorded by a world-class recording artist like Delbert McClinton,  
Amy Grant, Kix Brooks, Suzie Bogguss, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Lari  
White, or Raul Malo along with our partners, the Nashville Chamber  
Orchestra. You’d be changed forever—seeing yourself as a creator  
and not just a consumer. You’d have learned about teamwork, the  
value of everyone’s ideas, embracing diversity and collaboration  
through the group songwriting process. You might start writing songs  
to express your feelings rather than striking out in anger. You’d  
feel really listened to and proud of what you had done. And just  
imagine that this was the most fun you ever had in school.

Well, this is what Kid Pan Alley is doing in schools throughout the  
country—inspiring kids use their imaginations—to be creators, not  
consumers. We’ve written over 900 songs with over 18,000 children  
and we’ve got to say kids make the greatest co-writers. Come on  
inside and hear some of their creations. http://www.kidpanalley.org/ 
home.html

The Charlottesville-Albemarle Project Director is Terri Allard.  They  
have been invited to several elementary schools in our area this past  
year to rave reviews!

This program is primarily for elementary schools but it is such a  
great program that I hope you all will support them.  Shop at WHOLE  
FOODS ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, and 5% of all sale earnings will  
benefit the upcoming Charlottesville-Albemarle Kid Pan Alley  
community CD and release concert, scheduled for October 4, 2008, at  
the Paramount Theater.  Stop “BUY” and say “hi” to Paul  
Reisler and Terri Allard!

Kid Pan Alley performances, featuring Paul, Terri, and children from  
our community, are scheduled for noon and 5PM.

(SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM TERRI:  If anyone is interested in volunteering  
to help out at Whole Foods -- by sitting at the Kid Pan Alley  
information table or bagging groceries while talking to folks about  
KPA--please contact Terri Allard at: Terri at kidpanalley.org.  I'm  
planning to be there all day!
