 CONGRATULATIONS!
PTA 2014-2015 REFLECTIONS CELEBRATION
  
  
The PTA Reflections Celebration is a powerful tool for encouraging students to explore
and be involved in the arts. Together, school leaders and families offer positive
reinforcement for participation in the National PTA Reflections program.
Parents and community leaders are welcomed into the schools to discover the rich
culture and artistic skills presented by student artists. An art exhibit with live student
performances and an awards ceremony Thursday night hosted by Simon Kenton High School showcased the importance of arts education in our schools.  Boone County School District students took home 57 of 96 total awards.  Below are the winners from Boone County Schools pictured with Boone County School District Assistant Superintendent Jim Detwiler.
