In 2006, the North Montgomery Community School Corporation introduced fifteen new curriculum reform initiatives meant to improve each student's educational experience. It is hoped that through these enhancing adventure experiences students will be even better prepared to reach their highest potential academically and in later life. These enterprising "Bratton Initiatives" were named for the outstanding Montgomery County resident, William E. Bratton, member extraordinaire of the famed Lewis and Clark Louisiana Purchase Discovery Expedition and later Montgomery County's first official Superintendent of Public Schools. An important one of these initiatives is the sponsoring of a district-wide public art display showcasing these unique and unusual artistic adventures of Kindergarten through Twelfth grade students under the tutelage of NMSC art teachers Lisa Cosby, Debby Feldman, Kim Goebel, JD Minch, Mike Strickler and Angela Vinson. Over two-hundred imaginative images have been gleaned from this exciting and stimulating collaborative effort.
Joining the NMSC student artwork this year will be the work of home schooled Montgomery County student artists exhibiting photography resulting from a home-school Photography Class taught by artist/photographer Dawn Meadows. This exhibit includes the work of Dawn's students Arlan R. Lucas, Chelsey Olson Brooke Raley and a piece of Dawn's photography.
Those yearning to experience this Fantastic February Fantasy will find it in the Library's Mary Bishop Memorial Art Gallery from Thursday, January 31 until Friday, February 22. Do come often and stay long. Find the scent of spring in a plethora of outstanding and varied images direct from the hands of these young artists, who hold our future in their talented hands. You won't want to miss a single piece! Enjoy!
