PTA Reflections
a PTA sponsored program
Celebrating the Arts at Northwood
2011 Theme
“Diversity Means…”
Dear Northwood Teachers and Parents:
The annual PTA Reflections Program gives children the opportunity to express themselves through art forms
inspired by a specific theme. The theme for this year is: “Diversity Means…”
Students may enter in one of six categories:
• Visual Arts
• Photography
• Literature
• Musical Composition
• Dance Choreography
• Film/Video Production
The official rules are extra lengthy this year due to new electronic guidelines, so I have provided a simplified version – Reflections 2011 simplied rules – simply scroll down to the category that interests you.
Visit www.ptareflections.org for more details.
Before completing your entry, please visit the official rules at http://www.ptareflections.org/cs/general_student_rules
Entry forms can be accessed at http://www.ptareflections.org/cs/student_entry_form
The deadline for all entries is Monday, December 12th. Finalists will then be sent to the state competition.
There will be a Reflections Box next to the PTA box in the office for submissions. You may choose to do this as a class assignment or encourage your students to participate on their own.
***Teachers: if you choose to do this as an in-class assignment, I can adjust the guidelines
to make it easier to submit the entries – please contact me if you’d like to consider this.
***Parents: if you are confused about the electronic guidelines, please contact me – I will work with you to make it easier.
We plan to display the work of all finalists, as well as any art or photography entries at the Northwood
Open House in the spring.
The three highest scoring entries will receive a $10 gift certificate for the Spring Book Fair. As an extra incentive, all participants will be entered into a drawing for three additional, $10 Book Fair gift certificates.
Thank you for your time and participation in this great program. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
