REFLECTIONS
2009-2010 TIMELINE
This year's theme:
“Beauty is...”
PTA
believes that all children deserve a quality arts education, and
encourages students to pursue artistic expression through
participation in the annual Reflections Program. The theme this
year will be
“Beauty is...”
This is an opportunity to showcase your school’s talent in
visual arts, musical composition, film/video, photography, dance
choreography, and literature.
Only
PTAs in good standing can participate in the Reflections
Program. By-laws must be current and a portion of membership
dues paid by December 15th. If you have questions on
how to coordinate Reflections in your school, please feel free
to contact
Melissa Folks ,
Pinellas County Council PTA Reflections Chair. |

SEPTEMBER 12:
|
Attend the Reflections Session of the PTA Workshop on September 12. Download
the
Reflections packet
from
the
Florida PTA
website with
access rules and entry forms. Be sure to access all
sections of the Local Unit Reflections Packet. In order to ensure accuracy of guidelines and
acceptance of all entries, do not use old packets. The rules change
slightly each year, so only this year's packet is accurate.

|
SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER: |
Conduct a Reflections program at your
school. Involve all those who can promote the program like art, music,
English, teachers, interested parents and community leaders. Ask judges
to select entries to be forwarded to the County level. Judging and
celebration are local unit decisions as long as National guidelines are
used to select County entries.

Dues must be paid by your local PTA to Florida PTA by
December 15 to participate.
We would encourage all schools to wrap up their local
programs in November.
