The Clash of Cultures - Mozart Meets Heavy Metal! Arianna Stefanoff--concert violinist: rock music sounds like pots and pans banging togetherReid Lavelle--rock star extraordinaire: doesn't know an oboe from a piccolo...So how did this unlikely pair wind up on a weekend date in New York City? Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Handel. Arianna Stefanoff is familiar with the works of all these and more. Growing up in a musical family, she has an intimate knowledge of classical composers. On the other hand, her knowledge of the latest rock stars, and their current hits, borders on zilch. Being steeped in classical music blended well while the Stefanoffs lived in the culturally-heavy city of Boston. But once her symphony-conductor father accepted the conductor position for the St. Louis Symphony, Arianna is suddenly catapulted out of her comfort zone. Her new set of friends have scant appreciation for her flavor of music. She doesn't think much of theirs either. Then her friend, Kara, persuades her to enter a contest, a contest in which the winner is treated to a weekend date in New York City with rock star, Reid Lavelle. Explosions ensue when, against all the odds, Arianna wins. The girls at her school are not only jealous but furious knowing she's not even a fan of Reid's. Reid's ego is mangled when he learns his date knows nothing about his music. All signs point to disaster. Is Arianna destined to be ostracized forever just because of a dumb contest? And could it possibly be that her own narrow-mindedness regarding Reid is aiding in her misery?

Lori froze. Maritza turned to look at her with perfectly made-up eyes. Her hair was fluffed high on top and cascaded down into long soft curls, as though a professional stylist had just put a finishing touch on it before pushing her on stage. Her vivid aqua blouse was neatly tucked into a pair of slim black jeans. Black boots completed the ensemble as neat as a pin. She must have grown six inches-tall and willowy. What had Amy said? A knockout? That was an understatement. What could be more traumatic to a sixth grader than to have her best friend and neighbor move away? The answer? To have that friend return in eighth grade, totally changed. But then, Lori Ann Layton doesn't believe her former best friend has changed.

Was ist? Was wird? Was bleibt? - Geschichten aus dem Schulhaus Lavater Wenn ich Angst habe, dann tröste ich mich mit dem Gedanken, dass es mich gegeben hat.Und weil es mich gegeben hat, werden immer Spuren von mir da sein, die über die Erde wehen.(Die Reise mit der Angst von Ferdusi und Jill) In Schülerpatenschaften der Schule Lavater haben Jugendliche im Alter von 12 bis 15 Jahren ihre Erinnerungen an das historische Schulhaus und das aktuelle Leben und Lernen im Provisorium zum Ausdruck gebracht. In einem kreativen Prozess entstanden aus den Gesprächen mitreissende Protagonisten und originelle Handlungsstränge, die allegorisch für die Erwartungen und Erinnerungen an das Schulhaus Lavater stehen. Gotte und Götti haben ihre Wünsche, Hoffnungen und Ungewissheiten sowie Erfahrungen in phantasiereichen Kurzgeschichten rezipiert, welche sie für die Zukunft mitnehmen. Die Aufgabe mit einem Gotte respektive Götti unserer Schule eine Geschichte zu schreiben, erschien uns zunächst überwältigend. Wir kannten uns zuvor nicht und waren teils verunsichert, ob wir die Textproduktion gemeinsam bewältigen werden. Mutigen Schrittes begannen wir erste Ideen aufzuschreiben und überlegten, in welche Richtung wir mit unseren Protagonisten und Handlungen gehen könnten. Dabei sind unterschiedliche Genres entstanden - von Alltagsgeschichten über gnadenlosen Horror bis hin zu Welten in Science-Fiction. Eine Reise von tausend Meilen beginnt mit dem ersten Schritt.
