Virginia YAM LeadersVirginia YAM Chair: Jess Beach, [email protected]
In Virginia, we have a YAM representative for each VAEA Region.These representatives support and encourage YAM activities throughoutour state! The committee helps brainstorm YAM activities and judge our county/district YAM Book and YAM Flag submissions.Region Representatives: • Blue Ridge Region YAM Chair: Jauan Brooks , [email protected] • Central Region YAM Chair: Kelly Bisogno , [email protected] • Northern Region YAM Chair: Lee Darter, [email protected] • Southwest Region YAM Chair: Cristi Miller, [email protected] • Tidewater Region YAM Chair: Angie Salerno, [email protected]
Our Mission StatementThe Virginia YAM Committee promotes Youth Art Month
celebrations across our state. By celebrating YAM, art educators spotlight their passion for art and their students to others (such aslocal leaders, principals and community members). In our fast-paced school systems so much happens within a year. YAM is a whole month where art can take center stage. We will achieve this through art festivals, special materials made by students, emails with students art, community art walks, etc.…the possibilities are endless! We will encourage teachers to highlight any art lesson done during YAM because after all, it is all about kids making and learning about art! We will invite teachers to share their YAM accomplishments via their county/district portfolios and on digital media. We will support our art educators across our state!

Awareness Increased in YAM Support: Digital Hashtag
4
This year we created a statewide hashtag so art educators could share their YAM celebrations with each other across the whole state instantly! This idea came from speaking to other YAM Chairs at the 2017 NAEA Convention! Above: The digital poster announcing our hashtag. We invite you to check it out using #VAEAyam and #YAMmoments!
Awareness Increased in YAM Support: YAM Session at VAEA Conference
5
For the VAEA Conference, we created a session all about YAM called “Easy as YAM Pie.” Members were invited to come share in ideas for celebrating YAM from four YAM Committee Members and even enjoy some YAM Pie! Ideas includes how to make YAM shrinky dink key chains, murals, magnets, ATCs, and other advocacy tips. People left excited to plan for March 2017!
Awareness Increased in YAM Support: Flag Contest
6
In 2016/2017, Virginia had several student submissions to the YAM Flag Contest! Winners were announced through a press release and received an award, poster of their design and a letter of commendation. The first place winners also received art supplies and a personal letter from Senator Mark Warner honoring their achievements! The Grand Prize winner received all of this and her 3x5’ flag was sent to hang at the YAM Display in New York, NY for March 2017!
Documentation Report
