Mount Mahogany PTA Reflections 2010 Theme

"Together we can . . ."

Deadline:

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
4:00 pm
School office

Reflections is an annual program that encourages students' artistic talents. For more than 30 years, the Reflections program has invited children (preschool -grade 12) to create and submit works of art related to a national PTA theme. The Reflections program offers students the opportunity to express themselves and receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts.

Please print and submit the student entry form and media release with the students' submission on or before the deadline.  Each student is required to submit an artistic statement (on the entry form) that describes what inspired him or her to create the work and how it relates to the theme. This statement is read and weighed heavily by the judges on how an art piece supports the theme. As parents, we hope you will encourage your students to participate in this worthwhile activity! This is a great way to expand and celebrate your children's creative talents!

Please contact Annie Payne (801-796-0279) if you have any questions.
