Student quotes from 2011 Summer session:

"Thank you for letting us come to the museum. Thanks for showing us everything.  Please let us come again. I liked the movie and the animal sounds and that you teach about cowboys and Indians. Thank you the the campfire.  I want to come again soon."

"Thank you for letting us come and for teaching us about drawing on stone.  Thanks for teaching about the bear dance and for letting us watch the movie.  Thanks for letting us do art!"

"Thank you for letting us go to the museum.  My favorite thing was the Art and playing the game.  I learned that the Indians ate every body part of the buffalo. They used the horns as cups and they used the brain too. They saved the fur and used every part they could for cups and bowls."
