PTA Reflections Art Program
The deadline for turning in entry forms for the Reflections Art program is Friday, October 18.
National PTA’s Reflections program encourages students to explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. Each year, over 300,000 students create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. The theme for the 2019-2020 program year is Look Within. 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.
Red Ribbon Week
Your student can also participate by dressing up:
Monday 21st: Don’t Turn Your Back on Healthy Decisions - Wear your shirt backwards

Wednesday 23rd: Banyan Bobcats Make BRIGHT Decisions - Wear Orange (Bully Awareness Month)
