REFLECTIONS ART CONTEST:

Reflections is an arts recognition program sponsored by the National PTA. Each year over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. The theme for the 2019-2020 Reflections Art Contest is Look Within. Start thinking now about your entry in the categories of: Literature, Visual Arts, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, Photography, and Film Production. Entries will be due on Friday, October 18. The student entry form and additional information can be found on the Frost PTA website: http://frostmspta.org/reflections.html#reflections. Submissions will be collected in the marked bin in Frost's front office. Good luck to all our budding artists! If you have any questions about this program, please contact Gillian Kimura (Gillian.Kimura@gmail.com).
