17th District had a very successful Reflections Art Program in 2008-09! This year’s theme was “Wow!”, and there were 490 students throughout San Mateo County that participated in the Reflections program in their schools. Of them, 163 pieces continued on to judging at the 17th District level, and of those 18 entries won the Outstanding Interpretation of Theme award at 17th District and have moved on to judging at the California State level. NEW! Results from California State PTA have been announced.
The 163 pieces that were judged at the district level will be displayed at a Reflections Art Exhibit on Thursday, March 19th at John Gill Elementary School in Redwood City (view map). The open-house exhibit will take place during 6-8 PM, and all are invited to come see the visual entries, hear the music entries, and watch the film and dance entries. Snacks and activities will also be provided for the kids. Download the Flyer [PDF]
Next year’s Reflections theme (2009-10) will be “Beauty Is…”. Students are encouraged to start thinking of ideas for next year! If your PTA is interested in starting a Reflections program next year, or if you have any questions about this year’s judging or the March 19th Art Exhibit, please contact Contessa Messiana, 17th District Reflections Chair.
The full list of winners from 17th District is below the jump.
