Reflections:

One of the great things our PTA sponsors is the yearly National Reflections Contest. This contest is an arts recognition and achievement program for students. It provides opportunities for students of all grades and abilities to express themselves creatively and to receive positive recognition for original works of art inspired by a pre-selected theme. This year’s theme is “I am hopeful because…”. The seven categories for the contest are: Visual Arts (2-D), Visual Arts (3-D), Literature, Photography, Musical Composition, Dance, and Film. Please encourage your child to participate in this wonderful opportunity to share his/her talents.
