Exhibit NightOn Tuesday & Thursday of this week, we will celebrate all the students' learning that took place during Quarter 2 on our Exhibit Nights! To fully understand & appreciate all the learning that has taken place, it's beneficial to view each component of the exhibit in its entirety. Some grade levels have specific docents (a person who acts as a guide, at museums, art galleries, etc). While others have each student be a docent for his/her visitors. Some grade levels may have an activity or questions to guide visitors through their exhibit. We hope you have a wonderful evening sharing in the exciting culmination of Quarter 2! Thank you for your focus and attention on Normal Park Museum Magnet student work.
Rachel Carroll, Museum Liaison

Winter Showcase and Winter WindDid you know that Normal Park Museum Magnet School is one of the VERY few schools in Hamilton County that has a Dance Program and Curriculum? The Pop-up Project's (PUP) partnership with Normal Park allows for over 250 students to share in the love, art, and JOY of Dance. PUP Teaching Artists are working with every single 4th and 5th grader, and have been nurturing and developing Chattanooga's newest Dance Ensemble, the NP "SPARKS"; which consists of dancers in the 6th through 8th grade. This past semester PUP Teaching Artists have also been working with dancers Kindergarten through 3rd grade at the Lower School, and served as Choreographer for our fabulous Musical- Shrek JR. !
Normal Park Museum Magnet and The Pop-up Project are proud to invite you to NP Upper Dance Department's "Winter Showcase" on Wednesday December 14th at 6pm in the NP Upper School Auditorium AND to NP Lower Afterschool Program's "Winter Wind" performance on Monday December 12th at 5:30pm in the NP Lower School Auditorium!!!!
Admission to our "Winter Showcase" and "Winter Wind" Fundraisers is FREE. Donations will be greatly appreciated! We are working hard to raise more funds to help our Dance Program continue in the New Year! Please come to our show and/or consider donating to our Mission.
Parent Volunteers are needed for both Performances. They would need to help keep the dancers focused before and during the performance. They would need to wear all black and arrive an hour before the start time of the show. Please reach out to louie@thepopupproject.org for more volunteer information.
The Pop-up Project is thankful to the Normal Park Museum Magnet's SPARK Fund for believing in our mission to share the JOY of Dance to all children!!!
