More Information about PTSA Reflections Art Competition
PTSA is sponsoring their first annual PTA Reflections Art Competition. This is a national art competition with various art categories for all ages. There are six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts. PRS learners who want to participate will submit their art work to the front office on Monday, December 7th. All art work will need to follow the guidelines for the selected art category as well as include an attached student entry form to the piece of art. See links below for Guidelines and Student Entry Forms. PTSA will also be sending flyers home with K-4 learners. This is a great way for all K-8 PRS learners to show their creative side and LET THEIR IMAGINATIONS FLY.
