PTA REFLECTIONS
2022-2023 Theme Announced!
This year’s theme for Reflections, the national PTA arts program, has been announced! Your children are invited to create a piece of artwork in one of six categories that reflects this year’s theme, “I Am Hopeful Because…”. They can choreograph a dance, produce a film, write a poem or story, compose a song, take photos, or create a piece of visual art, then explain how it relates to the theme. Our students have been recognized at the local, state, and national level in recent years. This is a great way for your children to earn recognition for their artistic talents. Last year, more than 225 district students participated and were recognized locally, nine received State awards, and three received Natioonal recognition. Entries are due by Friday, November 3 in the Bryan school office. For more information and entry guidelines, visit the D205 PTA Council website.
