The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA cultural arts competition. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. Each year, Reflections challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. Only original works of art created by the student, working alone at home or at school, can be accepted.

The Reflections party took place on Wednesday December 5th in the library with lots of good food and wonderful art. The artists had a chance to tell the group what inspired them to do their art and their comments were meaningful and entertaining.
