By Janet I know Im pushing my luck with another Christmas craft this late, but heres something you can let your kids do on Christmas Eve while theyre pestering you about not going to bed A friend gave me enough of these little Santa napkin holders for our Christmas dinner, and they are so cute that I wanted tc pass them on to you. All you need is some white paper, a tiny square of pink paper, a red circle Bowles for a nose and two black dots for eyes. This is wrapped around a large, red paper napkin and taped together in back. Fold the corners or the napkin down to make a point and slip this little Santa band around it. Your guests will love it and it really brightens up your Christmas table or a Christmas buffet. Keep one as a pattern for next year in your Christmas boxes. dinner-siz- e Teacher to Parent Helping your child succeed by Betty Condie President, Utah Education Association Performing arts My most vivid and lasting memories from school days are about the times I performed. I remember my chicken costume from grade school and my can-ca- n costume from a Sigmund Romberg high school opera. Is there educational value in the performing arts? Definitely! However, support for performing arts in the schools is dissolving in some communities. Increasing academic requirements and emphasis on the basics is moving the arts to a secondary position in those places. Kids want to perform, and they should perform. They learn a lot from it. They learn dedication from playing in the school band They learn teamwork from the modern dance concert. They learn that top performance requires work and effort in putting a school play together. They learn commitment to a cause during all those hours of glee club practice. Those are valuable lessons No, make that invaluable lesson. Whats more, virtually every stu dent m the performing arts experiences success earned, worked-fo- r, sweet success. Becoming a winner is one of the most important experiences in school and life. Students in the performing arts also learn the importance of discipline-perseve- ring in a quest. Many of the best performing arts programs in schools use the talents of English, speech, social studies or science teachers. They select techniques or events from their subject areas for adaptation to a play, a musical or a debate. As early as first grade, students should be asked to dramatize a poem for a school assembly. By fourth grade, they should be auditioning for the elementary school orchestra. Fourth graders might even consult with high school teachers about the best preparation for earning a place in the high school orchestra. Performing arts are necessary for education, and every community should value them, support them, and if necessary, fight for them.
