WHAT IS REFLECTIONS? The Ohio PTA, through National PTA, holds an annual cultural arts program, Reflections. Children in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit original works of art in six areas: literature, visual arts, photography, dance choreography, film production and music composition. .
Thousands of artworks were submitted. The theme this year was "Within Reach".
This year, two Northwest students were recognized at the state level. Emma Waywood won honorable mention in the category of Literature.
Brennan Moore won FIRST PLACE in the visual arts category in the state of Ohio! His work will go on to compete at the national level. :) This is the first time a Northwest art student has won first place at the state level. Brennan has been accepted to the Modern College of Design where he plans to study graphic design.
