![Hope is in Our Hands - [Charter] School Choice Rally 2012 Flash Mob for Cherokee Charter Academy](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l9phmrctnLE/0.jpg "My 8 year old identical twin boys made their first ever stop motion animation video for a school art contest, for our school, Cherokee Charter Academy. The event is called \"Inspirations\" and they entered into the video category and won an award for \"Most Original\". The theme of the event was \"What does hope mean to you?\" This animation is a take off from last year's School Choice Rally on the steps of the state Capitol in Atlanta, GA. Shown is a \"re-enactment\" of a Flash Mob lead by one of our awesome PE teachers, and some fellow CCA students. 2012 was a monumental year for our school. It was our first year in existence as the first charter school in our county. We opened against all odds, and fought to stay open, and helped to campaign to get the Georgia state constitution amended to allow for school choice and charter schools, and we won! Hope is working hard for what you believe in and seeing your hopes and dreams come true!")
