Cecilia’s Mom, Aurora, explained how the success of this event is due in HUGE part to Angie McCoy, the Program Chair of the event. “She is an amazing person,” Aurora said. “She knows all of the students, parents and how to make this come together!” So many parent volunteers are involved – Jacksonville Elementary has one of the highest parent involvement in the state…about 200 parents!
Kudos also go to the Art Committee & Exhibition Team: Cristie Fairbanks, Tom Espinosa, Jessica Diaz, Christin Sherbourne, Erin Thomas & Prima Bohall.
Very Cool!
Congratulations on your very successful “Art Explosion”. As a former educator, I know that many hours of work by pupils, teachers, and volunteers were put into it. It gives me great pleasure to see that art is still
a major part of the curriculum. With all the budget cuts, art and music are generally the first to go. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your comments! This truly is a huge event – and we are proud to live in a town that values art!
