Cultural Arts projects awarded |
Seventeen Greenville students have earned honors in the local PTA Cultural Arts competition and were recognized for their efforts this week by the school district’s Board of Trustees.
Greenville ISD’s City Council PTA presented its annual Cultural Arts “Reflections” winners at Tuesday’s regular Board of Trustees meeting. Council PTA encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in the annual program.
The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in four areas: literature, musical composition, photography and the visual arts.
In its more than 30-year history, the national Reflections program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art. The Reflections Program was started in 1969 by then-Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.
Students participate in the Reflections Program by submitting entries to their local PTA or PTSA. Any PTA/PTSA in good standing is eligible to sponsor a Reflections Program.
Each year, the Reflections Program challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. Themes are selected from thousands of ideas submitted by students to the National PTA's Reflections Program Theme Search.
The 2007-2008 theme was “I Can Make a Difference By…”
