Reflections 2021 Update
Thank you to each and every student who submitted an entry for this year's PTSA Reflections Contest. The theme "I will change the world by......" was interpreted by 23 students. That is an amazing number of participants. I would like also like to thank Mrs. McLeod for supporting the program in her classroom.
The top 4 entries, in each category, go on for judging at the Harford County level. ALL entries, regardless of whether they are moving on or not were entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card to Amazon, Michaels, or Barnes and Noble.
The winners of a $25 Gift Card are:
Luca Cangelosi
Julianna Giglio-Tos
Austin Greeson
Isabel Rodriquez
The following entries will be moving on for County judging:
Dance-Celia Gizinski
Music Composition- Claire Dunn, Ilias Minisci, Austin Greeson
Photography- Julianna Giglio-Tos, Grace Donovan
Literature- Claire Dunn
Visual Arts- Colleen Graff, Emily O'Neill, Isabel Rodriquez, Samantha Bolick
Thank you again for everyone who entered. All the artwork was amazing and it was difficult for our judge to pick just 4. I hope maybe in the Spring we will have an opportunity to look at all the entries. Everything has been converted to digital submission. I will be returning all thumb drives and artwork back to you at school.
