Reflections Program 2007-2008
Next year’s Reflections theme is “I can make a difference by…” the rules and more information will be available later, but usually they remain the same as past years.

Participating in Reflections Program is an opportunity for all students to explore and learn about various art forms. The program offers students the chance to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students are encouraged to create and submit artworks in these areas: literature, musical composition, photography, visual arts (which include art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage), film/video and choreography/ dance.

Attention early birds: we will have drawings for the entries submitted by the end of September 2007, one in each category. It will be your choice of an iTunes, Target or Barnes and Noble gift card.

Please remember each entry must be work of only ONE person, all the entries submitted by more than one name will be disqualified.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Al Garman, Reflections Chair:
