We explained that cowboy boots protect them from snakebites,” said Marsha Paczewski, the third member of the trio of teachers who started the Hoedown tradition. “Now we're reading a story about snakes in our reading classes and the children can under- stand the connection.” The many parents and friends who enjoyed the show might not realize it but those dancers were also meeting the state standards in physical edu- cation classes. “We start in October and they learn three square dances. It teaches them very good loco- motive skills,” said Karen Arnaud, Phys Ed and Wellness teacher at Wyecallis. “These days we are focusing on lifetime activities and staying more physically active.” Students also meet the music standards through the weeks of Hoedown preparation. “We teach the songs to the entire class so they are all working on the rhythm standards.

Pictured KIDZ SAKE (continued from page 1) On the one hand, “We felt lucky because Hershey knew we were coming and knew what had to be done for Anthony and that he would be coming home,” Betty said. They met other parents whose children might not come home @ who might be away from home for months. After a relapse last Thanksgiving, and another trip to Hershey, the Kings are opti- mistic that Anthony is over the worst his condition poses. “We recognize the signs better now and can treat him at home with medications,” Betty said. But they know that trips to faraway cities with little money on hand plus the cost of eating out can be overwhelming to a family already under stress. Kidz Sake puts money in the hands of the parents directly and allows the whole family to stay together for the “kids sake.” The parent fills out a brief non-invasive application at the hospital and the money can be used for whatever the family needs. There are no financial restrictions on the grants because, Betty King says, “If First prize in the current Kidz Sake raffle is an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the 2005 Masters Golf Tournament.
