43 fifth grade students and their teachers, from PHOENIX COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL, visited Arcosanti for a 3-day densely packed program. A big treat was a silt workshop making plaster tiles and carving silt totems in the Vaults. Tomiaki Tamura played Music on the Mesa, (Dvorak's 9th Symphony, 'From The New World') set to the moonrise. And the kids shadow danced in the tradition of Pictograph and later toasted marshmallows by the fire in the Minds Garden.
