Calling all artists! PTA Reflections

This year we're (re)Introducing PTA Reflections at Pinchbeck! 

Ok? What is that?
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student cultural arts program, recognizing children for their creativity. Students from Preschool through Grade 12 may participate and explore the arts based on a yearly theme. Students may show their personal interpretation of the theme in their choice of six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, photography, music composition, and visual arts. For us, we'll have two age groups: K-2 and 3-5.

Is there a theme?
Yes, and this year the theme is "I'm hopeful because..."
So start brainstorming ideas. 

Submissions can be made starting November 1st with a deadline of Friday, December 1st.
