Reflections Chairperson:  Yuki Cutcheon


PTA believes that all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition.


Student works are critiqued against other works in the same category.  Works are then judged and awards given, with winners moving up to the next level of PTA (District, State and National).  All participants receive recognition and an opportunity to showcase their talents through local exhibits.
