Reflections Art Program a Success!

We had a record number of entries this year due to the interest and excitement generated by Reflections Chair Karen, Mrs. Harper and a few parents who spoke with everyone during lunch one day. Entries were received in Photography, Literature and Visual Arts. The students who participated are:

Jordan, Cathy, Sandy, Destiny, Shyann, Hannah, Ethan, Alysia, Payton, Nanishka, Jahomara, Josue, Kimberly, Steven, Gissell, Robert, Raymundo, Destiny and Jayda.

In Photography, Jordan and Cathy were the top entries. In Literature, top entries came from Sandy and Destiny. In Visual Arts, Ethan, Alysia, Payton and Cathy had the top entries. These entries were sent to the Lake County Council PTA for the next round of judging.

Students were recognized at school with their peers on Tuesday, December 2. Photos can be viewed in the display case at school. Look for more information coming soon regarding Gallery Night at the School.
