1. How did JeanetteKnowsJobs.com help you?

JeanetteKnowsJobs helped me because when it came to searching for internships, it was more difficult than I anticipated. I did lots of  searches and came up with either little to no responses. Luckily, I came my eyes on this site for the entire spring semester and found an 
internship and quickly applied. It was nice to have a website that was specifically looking for jobs/internships related to my field rather  than doing a lot of web searches and hunts around the Richmond area. Nevertheless, this site was very successful with helping me finding the 
internship I had at Dominion.

2. What did you do at your internship this summer?

At Dominion, I worked at the Technical Training Center in Chester,  VA. Here, I developed and revised graphics, layouts, animations, and  online courses for the faculty here. A lot of my skills that I've  learned in my department were used well here. My internship was focused 
more on instructional design which was a new aspect to design I've never  thought of. I'd create these images to convey clearer interpretations to what was being taught in the classroom.

3. What advice would you give to current students in your field of study?

or students in my field, I would definitely keep tabs on this website. I know how difficult it can be to look for internships related  to this field, but this site is definitely a huge help. Put yourself  (and your work out there) as much as possible. Keep an online portfolio 
and resume up and apply to everything you can. Do not be afraid to apply to an internship and/or job that you think you don't have the required knowledge. These internships are here to help guide and teach you, so never be afraid to ask questions. The more you know, the better. But always have your information and your work available and always search 
for jobs. It's always good to be early and on the look for what's out there waiting.

As you know just by walking in our school doors, Fox has a great school-wide commitment to art, in many forms.  Much of that commitment to creative and imaginative learning—the stuff that sets Fox apart from other schools—comes from our wonderful teachers and great PTA programs that afford our students with additional creative learning time.  This has happened most notably via the Art X program, an extra art class offered every two weeks for all students in the school from October to May each year.

Since PTA funds are used to run this annual program and program evaluation is critical for ensuring the most innovative programs for our students as opportunities change from year to year, the Arts in Education committee invites any member of the Fox Family to submit a proposal of what you would like to do in the 2009-2010 school year to expand the creative learning opportunities at Fox.[1]  Specifically, we are entertaining proposals for a VPI-2nd grade Art X curriculum; a 3rd grade-specific Art X curriculum; a 4th grade special visual arts project (small supplement to Minds in Motion); and a 5th grade year-long art legacy curriculum.  Please follow the attached proposal form as your guide for your proposal and consider the criteria in the attached evaluation form as well. Proposals should include timing of the program, materials/equipment needed, community links and partnerships as appropriate, and monies required (the budget for this programming is not excessive so please consider proposing ideas that employ resources and people power creatively).  Additionally, there is no designated space for Art X so creative space use in the school is also required. 

Proposals are due by email to fox.arts.in.education@gmail.com no later than August 15th (if email submission is a problem please call Sara and make arrangements for alternative submission before the deadline).  A proposal review committee, comprised of the Arts in Education committee, will use the attached form for evaluating proposals and selecting the programs to be implemented for the coming year. 
If you are an interested parent with a plan (or just an idea) about the next steps for Art X, please don’t hesitate to contact any of us on the Arts in Education committee.  We are looking forward to the next evolution of the Art X program at Fox, and with the ideas and energies of the creative Fox Family, we know it will continue to be amazing. Let us hear from you! And please feel free forward this to anyone you think may be interested in helping our school community grow our creative skills.

Sincerely,
The Fox PTA Arts in Education Committee:
