Getting Out: Mt. Tamalpais mini-challenge

Where on earth can you stand and from a single spot see Mt. Diablo, Mt. Hamilton, the Farallon Islands, and Tomales Bay by Pt. Reyes National Seashore? Of all the great views from the Bay Area's summit peaks, the panorama from the top of Mt. Tamalpais takes the cake. In addition to those far-flung spots, Angel Island, the San Francisco skyline, and the entire expanse of the north Bay Area lay beneath you as if you are seeing them from the window of a jet airliner.

School supplies event would be sweet music to many teacher’s ears

While watching the Grammy Awards on TV, the host made a big deal about nominating your favorite music teacher for the Music Educator of the Year Award and I thought about the retiring Gilroy Unified School District’s treasured teacher Phil Robb and how much beautiful music he has helped make through the years with all the choirs. The Grammy Music Educator Award is given “In recognition of the significant role of teachers in shaping their students’ musical experiences … and will be given out during Grammy Week 2014.”  The nomination process is open and detailed at www.grammymusicteacher.com. Deadline for submissions is April 15 and the winner receives a $10,000 honorarium. What would be especially cool is if the GHS/CHS choir could sing back-up on stage at the Grammy Awards for one of the bands. Now that would be some swan song for a great retiring teacher.
