Reflections:
Reflections for the Arts deadlines are December 20th. All entries must be turned in by this date. Please remember to check all requirements which can be found on the forms. If you are in need of the forms your student can pick them up in the main office or you can reach out to Lisa-Marie Lohse. In addition we are also asking for submissions to be submitted in manila/clasp envelopes this year. This is to help make the process easier for submitting your work to the judges. If your item is large please attach the manila/clasp envelope with the corresponding entry form. If you have more than one entry you will need an envelope for each entry. Please also provide the packing materials (bubble wrap/bag/box etc) to transport any oversized/unusually sized items. If you have any questions please contact Lisa-Marie Lohse lisamarielohse@gmail.com
