“The Magic of a Moment”

Talented young artists from Area II Gwinnett County were recognized and showcased on November 3rd at the 2012-2013 Area II Gwinnett County Council of PTAs Reflections Exhibition & Reception. The event was held at the GCPS Instructional Support Center and welcomed contest artists, along with their family, friends, and participating schools to join together for a day that celebrated this year’s theme, “The Magic of a Moment” through the arts. Upon arrival, music filled the air and set a ‘magical’ tone with performances by Duluth Middle School orchestra, North Gwinnett Middle School orchestra, and Peachtree Ridge High School orchestra.

The Reflections Arts Recognition Program has been a national PTA student-achievement program for over 40 years. The excitement and enthusiasm this outstanding program generates for students and their schools is unmatched, with Georgia PTAs participating in the program at all PTA levels. In addition, the PTA Reflections Program increases community awareness of the importance of the arts in education.

Area II Council hopes that each student who participated in this year’s program has felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. We are proud of them all!

“The Magic of a Moment” is a fabulous theme and I am sure will make for a fabulous program at your school.

Our Reflections Workshop is this coming Monday, at 10:00am check-in, 10:30am Start time. Coffee and very light refreshments will be served. We will again conduct the workshop at the ISC, the Instructional Support Center, 437 Old Peachtree Road, Bldg. 200, Suwanee. The room location is upstairs in the Collins Hill/Dacula Rooms.

If you cannot make this workshop on Monday, the State PTA is offering a workshop tomorrow downtown. You just need to email gapta@bellsouth.net or call 404-659-0214 or 1-800-PTA-TODAY to rsvp.

Kimberly Hale, from Simpson ES, will be leading the Workshop on Monday and is excited to share the changes with you and also some concrete ideas on how to run a program.

Kristin Glaser, from Burnette ES, will be asking for volunteers at drop-off, set-up, and pick-up.

Julie Joseph, Council VP, will be the Council Contact.

We are without a Council Reflections Chair, but know that with everyone’s assistance this will be a fabulous celebration of the Arts.

We look forward to seeing you all on Monday!
