• Thank you for letting Russellville third grade see all of the art. I enjoyed it. Your friend, Zach

• I loved the busts and the money. Some of the money was so small if I dropped it, I would probably think it was a piece of dirt. The mummy stuff was awesome. How did you get all the stuff? Thanks, Makayla

• I also liked learning about Egypt, Rome and Paris. I couldn’t stop thinking about it so I asked my dad if we could go to Egypt . He said Maybe. Your friend, Klara

Dear Staff of the Museum of Art and Archaeology:

• I am very glad you took the time to give the 5th graders of Paxton Keeley a tour through the museum. There are so many beautiful artifacts in it… The expressions on the statues faces were very clear… I also loved the story of St./King Louis, though he was obviously very foolish and not fit to be king in his young age.

• [In]…the room with the pepper shakers… everything was so lovely; I still catch my breath picturing it…

More comments from elementary students

• I also really loved the art and statues, and I liked the tour guide she was very nice. I saw a television thing upstairs and thought it looked like a person? I don’t know if you get my letter tell me what the heck it is! Pleeeeeeesssseee…

• The stories were amazing! .. I was amazed what a sheep boy can do to a big giant like Goliath!

• I appreciated how our younger group had the opportunity to touch something in a special box coordinated by their tour leader. And I loved the stories told to the older group so they could connect to the art.

• Our docent was fantastic. She was very attune to our students’ needs. She gave an appropriate level of information and engaged the students by asking questions.

Teachers 6/12/09
