Murphy PTA Reflections

Reflections 2007-2008
"I Can Make A Difference By…"

The Reflections theme for the 2007-2008 school year is
"I Can Make A Difference By…"

Reflections is a National PTA-sponsored arts recognition program that encourages students to express their ideas in art form. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: literature, musical composition, photography, the visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video.

As with any student activity, parent involvement and support are very important. But parents must remember that student artists need to create their own works. Students must make their own decisions about what to create and what to enter in the Reflections program. By creating their own literature, musical composition, photography, the visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video, students not only learn about the arts, more importantly, they learn about themselves.

When children participate in the arts, they score higher on standardized tests, improve literary skills, develop problem-solving skills, become more creative, and learn to appreciate other cultures.

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2007

You may enter as many times as you like in as many categories as you like, but be sure to reflect the theme,
"I Can Make A Difference By…"
in your work.
