A Time to Shine Fair encourages early enrollment for magnet schools BY PAUL COLLINS THE CHRONICLE Interested onlookers watched from the upper level of Hanes Mall Sunday afternoon as Whit ney Fulwood of Diggs Elementary School sang a solo during Diggs Dreamers Chorus' perform: ance of the religious tune "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." The event was the Winston Salem/Forsyth County Schools' annual Magnet School Enrollment Fair, which was held from I to 5 p.m. on the lower level of Hanes Mall in front of Belk. In addition to the choral performance, Diggs students performed a dramatic excerpt from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Act 3. Scene I); "Hava Nagalia," a dance and choral performance: a celebratory dance from Norway; and instrumental music ("Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony). Tiffany Burgess, drama teacher and arts coor dinator at Diggs Elementary, told the audience: "This excerpt is a tune that many of you know from church as 'Ode to Joy,' or 'Joyful, Joy ful, We Adore Thee.' Beethoven was deaf at the first performance of the Ninth Symphony in 1824..." Burgess said in an interview that Diggs' arts program exposes students to dance, drawm. ^ band, orchestra, piano composition and visual arts. And the school does arts integration to teach math and science concepts, English, reading and language arts.
