Dear Mr. Goforth,
Thank you so very much for coming to this page. I have listed quite a few videos for you to
watch, but I wanted you to have a very well-rounded view of what I have done and what I would like to do. After watching
the arts videos below, you can click on the first four links of the website, to your left, to see videos of
my professional speaking engagements. Also, you can click on the last link on the left (classes) for a listing
of classes that I have taught and would like to teach in Springville. When you click on the name of each class,
a description of that class will appear. Then just hit the back button to go back to the list. Thanks again! Blessings
to you, Rita

Westbrook Christian
School. I organized and directed the Westbrook Show Choir for five years. This was the Show Choir at John Croyle's
christian school in Rainbow City. I taught there for five years. I also taught at both Big Oak Girl's Ranch in
Springville and Big Oak Boy's Ranch in Glencoe. You will see that these selections include not only singing, but drama
and theatre as well.

member of this choir. We did a wide variety of music all the way from foreign language for Carnegie Hall to country!
