>> Good morning all,
>> I wanted to give you all an update on our ordeal with my daughter's
>> participation in her high school musical. I had previously asked for
>> suggestions in dealing with a director who wanted to remove her. Last
>> night
>> was their opening night performance of "The Pajama Game". My daughter was
>> thrilled with the reaction of the audience and everything went well. 
>> While
>> she has had a couple falls (minor scrapes) while trying to navigate scene
>> changes and many extra hours of practice, she danced, and entered and
>> exited
>> the stage on opening night with perfection!
>> Two days ago she received the following note from the main choreographer:
>> "Kayleigh - I am so proud of you and all the work you have done on this
>> show. You are an inspiration to me and all of us! Thank you, I appreciate
>> you."
>> I felt so happy and proud for her. I just wanted to share the "happy 
>> side"
>> to this story. With persistance and given a chance, our children can be
>> successful in all they strive to do.
>> Regards,
>> Kim Cunningham
