The PTA Reflections program is an arts recognition program that gives children from preschool through grade 12 an opportunity to express themselves in any of six arts areas: dance choreography, film/video production, literature, musical composition, photography, or visual arts. Each year, the students are challenged to create works of art relating to a specific theme. The students works are recognized by the PTA s at the local, district, state and national levels. All work must be done exclusively by the student and must illustrate the theme of Diversity Means... Students may submit as many entries as they would like to the MAIN OFFICE by Monday, November 21. BE SURE TO FOL- LOW THE RULES FOR YOUR CATEGORY. Extra enrty forms and detailed rules for each category are in the MAIN OFFICE. Learn more about the PTA Reflections program at www.pta.org/reflections. Congratulations to the 8th Football team for their victory against Lakeside this past week!
