Relections Program

We are currently accepting entries for the Reflections program sponsored by the PTA. The following is information from the national PTA website...

Reflections Program

Designed to enhance rather than replace a quality arts education, the Reflections Program provides opportunities for students to express themselves and to receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts.

2008-09 Reflections Program Theme: "Wow!"

National PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts (which includes art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage). For nearly 40 years, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art. The Reflections Program was started in 1969 by then Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.

Entry deadline is November 21, 2008. Submissions can be dropped off in the "Reflections" box across from the school office. Last year we were thrilled that Thorp had three students advance in the contest. Good luck to all who enter!

(We are also currently looking for a volunteer to help coordinate the Reflections program for next year. If you are interested and want more details please contact us!)
