In the spring of 2002, magnet drama teacher Laraine Turner mesmerized a standing-room only auditorium as she lead around three magnet-art classes in an elementary school musical production entitled, "America, My Home." As she captivated the audience with a loud whistle to signal the entrance of the three classes, Turner twirled a baton vigoriously to the patriotic beat of "Stars and Stripes Forever."
Turner said, "My fantasy was always, for some reason, to twirl a baton the accompaniment of 'Stars and Stripes Forever.' This was not something I planned, but am very proud of and thankful to have been able to do. I will never forget this moment!"
Turner provides a photo of her after the production accompanied by the magnet children. "Blocks" are provided to protect the identity of the students.
Timeless wisdom and advice on the art of living for today’s young and old: The art of thinking, the art of loving, the art of working, the art of leadership, the art of growing old.
