Raabe, Kim Privler	It's Jammie Time!	Life Skills- Other, Literature- Other, Music	At Mama Pajama’s Playhouse, our motto is “Rest Time Is The Best Time!” We believe that daily transitional time from the busyness of work and play is necessary for our bodies and minds to rest, recharge, and re-energize so that we can be our very best in the lives we lead. We use our live, interactive music and story shows, as well as our online concerts and story times to encourage and reinforce positive rest time perceptions to our audiences in a fun and entertaining way. This particular show is available in three formats - music only (entertainment-based), music only (entertainment + education), or as a story show, which uses both music and storytelling (entertainment = education). This show is primarily intended for children age 3-7, and of course their parents!	$351- $500
Carpenter, Margot	Thomas Comma; or, the Comma that Didn't Below Anywhere	Life Skills- Other, Media- Film, Multicultural- Other	Thomas Comma (24 minutes), an animated film based on a story by poet Martha Baird, is the charming, humorous, and also sophisticated adventure of a lonely comma looking for the right sentence--that which truly represents him in this world. This 2D film will not only delight and inspire children and adults alike, but also encourage and educate them. "We're all of us like commas," wrote Ms. Baird, "looking for the right sentence." Following the film, Ken Kimmelman, Emmy Award winning filmmaker (Imageryfilm.com), gives an exciting talk on the making of the film and its meaning.	$101- $200

Paul, LoriAnn	Zinnia Yoga & Meditation Program for Children (and Adults)	Health & Fitness- Sports, Health & Fitness- Other, Life Skills- Other	Yoga is a superb form of physical exercise balancing strength, flexibility, endurance and relaxation/stress management skills. Many postures are designed to stretch, tone and strengthen particular parts of the body, and students are encouraged to respect their own particular strengths and weaknesses while exercising. I have been told that my special way of engaging the children during class makes Yoga so much fun, that they don’t even realize they are exercising! Furthermore, many children seem to enjoy the guided visualization/meditation at the end of class the most. I am currently using several hundred meditations designed specifically for the minds and hearts of children. The ancient healing arts of yoga and meditation can undoubtedly help countless individuals, who struggle with different anxiety disorders, learning disabilities and behavioral problems. Furthermore, many of our young people (as well as adults) are at risk of developing diabetes and obesity. In general, people tend to overeat when stress levels are high and energy levels are low; yoga helps to bring these into balance for optimal health and well-being. This program may be offered to students once or on an on-going basis.	$351- $500
Paul, LoriAnn	Peace Project	Life Skills- Other, Literature- Creative Writing, Multicultural- Other	I am delighted to introduce my newest program, which may be offered to students of all ages depending on the parameters of your program. The objective of the Peace Project is to foster compassion, respect and peaceful conflict resolution amongst peers within the context of the classroom. In these age-appropriate workshops, students will discover the importance of celebrating cultural diversity and promoting compassion in the world, as well as developing the invaluable skill of peaceful conflict resolution. These classes may be offered to students once or on an ongoing basis. Workshops would incorporate the following activities: Book reading at the beginning of each class followed by a sharing circle Creative writing based on a different theme, which will vary from one class to another Unique art projects/crafts designed to help promote peace and encourage collaborative efforts among students Introduction to music from diverse cultures around the globe Unique games that encourage co-operative group participation	$351- $500
