we really need a reflections volunteer!
|
|
Imagine being showered with amazing artwork, writing and other arts achievements! The
chair of the Reflections committee is still an open position, so that person surrounded by student art could be
you. LHS students year after year submit wonderful works and enjoy great success, sometimes all the way to the national level.
But without parent support, we won't be able to offer the program this year.
 TONIGHT at 6:30 pm is the training reception for all the Reflections chairs in Fairfax County.
Won't you consider being our parent coordinator this year? Send an email to
ptsalangley@gmail.com if you're interested, even if you're not able to go to the training tonight. No experience is necessary; the local PTSA will provide all the info you need.
Our Langley artists need you! More information about the program is available
here.
