The PTA is excited to welcome Reflections to Central. Reflections is the National PTA arts program that asks children to get creative!  Students of all Grades and abilities are invited to create works of art in any of the six different art categories, reflecting upon this year’s theme, “I am hopeful because…..”

 The six art categories are

1. dance choreography

2. film production

3. literature

4. music compositions

5. photography

6. visual arts 

   Students can create as many projects as they like, in as many art categories as they like. Projects can only be submitted at the school level. Students must complete their projects outside of school.
   
   This year’s theme is “I am hopeful because….”
   The deadline to turn in projects along with the filled in Entry form is 10/27/23. Please submit all your projects to the School front office and place in the REFLECTIONS BOX.
   
   You can find more general information at  REFLECTIONS

HOW WILL KIDS LEARN ABOUT THIS PROGRAM?

Primary, you. This is an optional program that the children should be doing at home, WITHOUT your help. We are looking for parent volunteers to help be on this new committee, if you are interested to help please reach out to Connie Moran.

WHO WILL BE THE JUDGES?

Each category will be judged by a team made up of teachers, parents and community members. Although, the focus is on celebrating each persons individual talent and voice, there will be a winner in each category.

WHAT IF WE WIN AT OUR SCHOOL? Since this program is new to our area, we will only be keeping it local. If you win and choose to go beyond our local level, you move on to Nationals. Therefore, you will complete an online entry process that you will include an upload of your artwork to enter Nationals (this is optional, up to you to do).

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

You print the form above and return it with your submission.

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT MY WORK?

All submissions are due October 27, 2023.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SUBMISSION ?

To celebrate all our artists, we will honor them at Central with a certificate and recognition in announcements. All entries submitted will be on display at our Central Parent Gala on Friday, November 3 at the Evanston Art Center for families to view/watch.
