Reflections Art Program Volunteer Shout-outs

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Special Contributor: Virginia Martinez

A big thanks goes out to two generous Lake Barcroft residents, Joel Gregorio and Stephanie Kozemchak, who volunteered their time to judge for this year’s Reflections Art Program at Belvedere Elementary. Reflection’s is a national art recognition program in its 42nd year.

Reflection's Awards Recipients


Joel Gregorio, our Lake Barcroft Newsletter Photo Editor, judged the photography category of this year’s Reflections program. Stephanie Kozemchak, a local art teacher/tutor with extensive art teaching experience, judged the visual arts category.

We received a record 130 entries in the areas of literature, film & video, photography, and music. Two of our students went on to win an “award of excellence” (2nd place) at Council level. The children were delighted to receive award & participation ribbons at an ice cream social at Belvedere this past month.

The Belvedere PTA is very grateful to them for volunteering their talents and many hours of their own personal time to judge the children’s artwork.

Thank you, Stephanie and Joel, for your commitment to our community and school.

What are you willing to pay to protect our kids’ education?

Monday, November 16th, 2009

A very important FCSB budget discussion focusing on the JEB Stuart school pyramid will be taking place tomorrow night (Nov 17th) at JEB Stuart High School Theater at 7:45 pm. Kaye Kory will be presenting on the FY2011 Budget and addressing parents’ concerns on the projected $162M deficit.

My friend, Ellie blogged in Around Annandale about a community meeting that occurred last Saturday at the George Mason Library regarding the Fairfax County Budget deficit of $315.6M and the impact to our school budgets. In her summary she states that most citizens attending were in favor of supporting a real estate tax rate increase to thwart the proposed budget cuts to our area schools.

I hope that our county officials will take into consideration the purpose of schools (read an excellent blog posting by Seth Godin – “What are schools for” when making their final cuts to the school budget.

Traci Cooke, President of the Sleepy Hollow Elementary School PTA also wrote a great post on the SHESPTA website about the importance of attending this meeting. You can read her version here – http://www.shespta.org/budget-info-fy2011

Please plan to attend this important meeting regarding the Fairfax County Budget and the proposed impacts to the Fairfax County School Board Budget.

It’s your tax dollars. What are YOU willing to pay to protect our Kids’ Education and our Future?
