2021-22 Reflections: I Will Change the World By...

8/25/2021

 
This year's Reflections Theme is "I Will Change the World By..."
2021-22 Reflections:
Reflexiones 2021-22:
The Reflections Program is a National PTA and WSPTA cultural arts competition. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works for the theme of "I Will Change the World By...".

Reflections is so much more than "just an art contest."  It helps kids take risks, be inspired, think creatively, receive positive recognition and be celebrated for their works of art.  It also allows our community to celebrate our students' creativity!
Encourage art by offering Reflections at your PTA!

Council is here to help make it easy! Check out our Reflections page for regular updates and links to the student entry form and rules (available in English and Spanish), join the Northshore Council PTSA Reflections and Art Docent Chairs Facebook group and be sure to sign up for our "almost weekly" Reflections communications.

Dates to Note:
  • December 3, 2021 - Council's Online Turn In Date
  • January 2022 - Council Celebration Open House
Please stay tuned for more information on submitting entries to Council and our Celebration Open House that will follow district and county public health requirements.

Questions? Contact Council's Reflections Chair, Jasmine Lee Fry.
