From 1976 through 2009, Natalie Cole won 9 Grammy Awards and was nominated 21 times. Over her 40-year career, she released 23 albums and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
The Grammy Award–winning daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole forged her own career in three phases: she began in the ’70s as a soul-rooted artist, had success in the ’80s with pop-oriented R&B, and in the ’90s followed in her father’s footsteps with traditional pop and jazz.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

This class will introduce students to the basic technique of tablet weaving. Tablet weaving uses perforated tablets, also called cards, to organize the warp yarns. The cards are threaded with colored yarns, and the order in which the weaver turns them creates the pattern. We’ll use a simple post loom to make a sampler, and students will take their cards and three easy patterns home to try later.
