Clyde Hill Elementary PTA
The Reflections Program is a National PTA arts program for students from pre-K through grade 12. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works of art in response to a theme.
Students, please submit you original artwork (by December 1st) that expresses your ideas about "I am hopeful because"! It will be displayed during our Student Art Gallery and Community Dessert Reception, December 7th, 6:00pm-7:30pm! Invite your friends and family to support your art and expression!
Clyde Hill Community, please join us for our Student Art Gallery and Community Potluck Dessert Reception, December 7th, 6:00pm-7:30pm, to celebrate our students artistic expressions!
Entry submission due date: December 1 (scan and email submissions and registration form to reflections@clydehillpta.org).
Students or parents can drop off physical artwork in the Reflections Box in the front office. Please make sure that artwork is correctly labeled with your student’s name, grade, teacher, title of artwork, and the description on the back. Please read all of the rules for the different categories. Works submitted that do not conform to the Requirements will not be able to advance to the Council. For Visual works of art please be mindful of size and how the work is mounted. See rules in the links below.
Student Art Gallery and Potluck Dessert Reception: December 7th, 6p - 7:30p in the school gym. We need volunteers to help set up for the art show. If you are able to volunteer, please email Kate Scher. Please RSVP!
