1994 Guiding Star Awards A rare and splendid chance to meet "Susan" of Sesame Street and applaud good teachers. Six Houston-area elementary teachers will be honored at this benefit. The taxpaying public is invited to come and meet these teachers and likewise meet Loretta Long, best known for her role as Susan on Sesame Street. Long was one of the original humans on the show, which means she was working with muppets before muppets were cool. Visitors will get a chance to see the Children's Museum's newest exhibition, "Magic School Bus in the Earth," and to hear the Star of Hope Homeless Children's Choir sing. All proceeds go the Star of Hope shelter and, if the thought of so much goodness gives you pause, note that sinful, wicked desserts will be served. 6-9 p.m. Children's Museum, 1500 Binz. For details, call 492-5401. $5.
