Students are invited to design a piece in one of the six art areas
that represents this theme. The deadline for entries is December 1,

and guidelines. Entries may be submitted to the front office on or
before December 1st. All entries must be the work of only one student
and must be original works and must relate to the theme "Together We Can."

Student works are critiqued against other students in Grades 9-12. Entries are
judged at the local, state and national levels. Winners will be

The National PTA Reflections Program is an arts recognition and

provided students an opportunity to express themselves creatively and

annual theme, which this year is "Together We Can." The program also
