National PTA Reflections
We are excited to participate in the 2022-2023 National PTA Reflections program! Does your student enjoy expressing themselves through art, music, dance, photography, filming or writing? This program is a unique opportunity for our AJ Whittenberg families to showcase their student’s interpretation of the theme using their artistic talents. We know AJW engineers have a lot to offer the world. Join us and invest in sharing your voice with PTA Reflections! This year’s theme, “Show Your Voice!"
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Special Artist (All grades welcome).* Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
*Students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504 may enter in the Special Artist Division or grade division most closely aligned to their functional abilities.
