Share your child's Reflections

We love the Reflections Program because of the opportunity it gives our students to express themselves through art - in whatever art form moves them.
Explaining the program to grade-schoolers can be a little tricky. If we tell them, "go create art!" they're likely to give us blank stares.
So let's show them.
Kelly Urbon, who is heading up the program, hit on the idea of talking directly to students about Reflections. She hopes to give presentations during lunch periods one day next week, explaining that the program is part of a national PTA contest and describing the recognition all participants receive and the potential for their art to be reviewed at the district, regional and even national levels.
But Kelly also hopes to inspire our students and give them a few ideas as she talks. Ideally, she wants to show the kids Reflections submissions from past years so they'll understand when she tells them they can write a story, choreograph a dance, film a movie and more.
If you'll let us borrow one of your child's past Reflections submissions, please e-mail Kelly Urbon before the weekend is over.
She - and the children who will be inspired - thank you!
