Initiative for Developing Experiences in the Arts (IDEA) was established in 2009 at South Anna Elementary. Mr. Hembrick, Mrs. Sergent and I made a commitment to producing musicals. A team of teachers and parents worked together over a period of eight weeks to put on some pretty amazing shows. Watching the students work hard, perform, and become a family became some of the proudest moments of my life. The musicals and some pictures are posted. I am still adding pictures to the collections as parents share with me. The most memorable moment for me was in 2016 when the original Annie Jr. cast from 2010 returned to cheer on the newest cast. The youngest performers idolized the high schoolers. The 2010 cast brought their family and friends and reminisced. What a feeling of accomplishment for me to know that our efforts were cherished memories even so many years later.
