her incoming by providing an outlet for her children’s manner talents in a noncompetitive Having become dissatisfied with other children’s groups she originated the Sunshine Generation progam with the intent of teaching “total showmanship” to children and to foster the self confidence needed to succeed in life Within weeks Nancie was teaching over 100 children In 1981 Nancie Nalder was named “Outstanding Young Woman of In 1982 she was approachAmerica” ed to franchise her program so that others could form groups Today the business is a national with over 160 locations organization across the United States offering training to children in singing dancing showmanship and performing Just this year Nancie was named “Woman of the Year” by the YWCA of Northern Utah in the category of Business” Susan Henke of Deseret became a part of the Sunshine Generation franchise in October 1984 thus allowing Delta area youth the opportunity to participate in the national program At the time Susan who wanted to remain at home with her children was looking for a way to supplement her income Her by doing something worthwhile in Vernal was involved in the program and she is the one who made the suggestion to Susan Everything seem to happen all at once Susan who was eight months pregnant with her sixth daughter sub- - mitted her resume of experiences and qualifications to Sunshine Generation and was readily accepted into the program It was a very busy period in her life for she was serving as Relief Society President for her church taking care of her family and launching into a career “Without my husband’s support and help I couldn’t have done it” Susan said recently In high school and college Susan Henke received vocal training and she performed in Promise Valley Produc- tions in Salt Lake City Later while working for the telephone company she took several night classes in child psychology at the University of Utah and she has worked with children in various capacities in her church Her training and her experiences combined with her personal understanding enhance her ability to work with and teach her students Having struggled with her own Susan truly believes in the “It’s Sunshine Generation program really a good program because it helps kids overcome fears and to build confidence in themselves through performing They grow individually in an atmosphere that promotes performing rather than competition” All across the country children volved in the Sunshine Generation perNancie form the same programs Nalder creates four shows annually one for a designated portion of the year which are taught to franchise owners at training sessions held in Kaysville Utah Training tapes for both instructors and students are also available Sunbeams ages three to ing Kids the Sundance kindergarten grades for grades one two and three and the Solar Sounds for grades four and up A program for teens is also available but Susan has not yet started a class for this age group (Company policy requires a certain number of students in order to get the During the summer choreography) months each group meets for an hour on Tuesday mornings learning music theory and rhythm and receiving instruction in voice and theatrical dance children Susan instructs ranging in age from three to thirteen fees are suggested by Instructional the Sunshine Generation organization but the individual franchise owners are free to set their own Naturally as with a certain amount of all franchises money goes to the parent company Susan believing that parental support is essential wants to make sure that the parents of her students get their money’s worth She emphasized that the company provides opportunity without great expense for parents to purchase the national uniforms which can be recycled as children grow Once a month performances are part of the Sunshine Generation national program Such performances are given gratis for any civic group that needs Susan’s students have entertainment entertained for patients in the Extended Care for a dinner sponsored by the for an IPP luncheon and most recently at the Great Basin’s “Utah” Celebration They are scheduled to be in the Fourth of July Parade and the Hinckley Hootenany on July 24 Participation is optional although performing is the really important part of the Sunshine Generation program There is discipline in the program discipline that requires practice Susan tries to allow one to two hours daily for her own preparation and students are encouraged to practice at home When beginning a new show more prepartion time is necessary the Susan Henke commended parents of her students and reiterated the importance of parental involvement “Anything of lasting value has to have parental support” Although she considers her “out of the way” Deseret location somewhat detrimental to business Susan Henke enjoys what she is doing and she “loves it here” Stating that she and her family are not city folk she expressed her apthe preciation of the openness smallness and closeness of the area and the beautiful sunsets “It’s big enough here that one can be involved and personally develop” Yes it would be nice to have more students but for the time being Susan Henke is satisfied with the personal relationships she establishes with her students No pressure is applied and the parents can see the individuality of each child unfold “Sunshine Generation is not trying to make kids into professionals” Susan said “Instead the program helps them learn and grow making themselves and others feel good”
