Description :
You’ll smile when you listen to the family-friendly folk music of “Mrs. Kate”! Kate travels all over Florida and Georgia singing her original songs for kids and adults in a variety of venues, including schools, libraries, festivals and churches. Her motivational program for elementary school students emphasizes reading good books, kind behavior, self-control and determination. She has an hour-long program of Florida songs that teaches about the swamp and ecology of the Sunshine State in a totally engaging manner. Her program for churches includes interactive worship, scripture and motivational songs that encourage kids and adults alike that you “Gotta Be a Doer.” “The country-folk life you present is an important part of America’s heritage and a valuable treasure in our multi-cultured society.” (Nancie Force, teacher). “Kate Carpenter is a state treasure! With audience participation, crafty songs, and exotic instruments, she brings Florida’s natural history and folklore to life.” (Tony Martinez, teacher). “Many of Kate’s songs and stories covered social skills that we stress within the school environment…good line behavior, being nice to others, cleaning up after yourself, saying no to drugs, finishing what you start, staying in school, truthfulness, library use, reading and family values. All spectators were on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what she would do next.” (Esther Simmons, Media Specialist)
