What an amazing evening it was on Friday, March 5, at the annual Arts Odyssey! An evening of music, performance and appreciation of all things art (including culinary arts!), an often overlooked and undervalued element of children's education. I want to applaud the work of Shirley Reinhart, Arts Odyssey Committee chair and Northgate Board member, along with the entire Northgate school faculty, staff and administrators who each year embark on celebrating the joys of the arts and for nurturing the arts within the hearts and imaginations of our school children and community members.
