2011-2012 Reflections Program Theme: “Diversity Means…”

The PTA Reflections Program provides opportunities for students to express themselves and to receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Arts in Education is responsible for all aspects of the Reflections program sponsored by the National PTA. The Reflections program is a way of recognizing the talents of young people in the area of cultural arts. Each year, local schools sponsor the Reflections program by encouraging students to submit entries in the following categories: Literature, Visual Arts, Photography, Musical Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film/Video Production. The winning first place entries are then forwarded to the school division level for judging and may then go on to district, state, and possibly even the national level.

Entering

You may pick up applications for the Reflections program in the front office.  All work must be completed and turned in no later than October 21, 2011 to either Ms. Papa in the library or Ms. Coffey in the front office.
