Fairview Park PTA Council Reflections Art Program
|
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. The Reflections program allows PTAs throughout the state to recognize children for their creativity as they reflect on the yearly theme. Teachers, parents, children and community can get involved in enhancing arts education though the Reflections program. The Reflections Program is one of the best examples of the PTA's ability to bring out the best in our youth. PTA strongly supports education in the arts. It is about creating educational excitement and involvement within our schools between parents, teachers and o
ur kids.
Students can enter Reflections® in the following grade divisions - Primary: preschool-grade 2, Intermediate: grades 3-5, Middle/Junior: grades 6-8 and Senior: grades 9-12. They may submit works in any of the six arts areas: Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual arts, Dance Choreography, and Film Production. Special Artists can submit entries in any category. Our Reflections program begins at the local level, advances to PTA Council level, then to State for judging. The State winners of the Award of Excellence are then advanced to National PTA.
This year's theme is " Heroes Around Me." All students that wish to participate in the Reflections Art Program need to fill out the entry form and return it along with their original artwork to their school office by November 1, 2018. All participants will be invited to an Art Show to view the masterpieces created in January. Questions can be emailed to Angie Cause at angiekleincause@yahoo.com. Good luck!

I hope the end of the first quarter was successful for all our FPCS families! Please email me at
csullivan@fairview.k12.oh.us
with any questions you have regarding things going on at school, parenting, etc. then I will share the answer next week! I am sure other parents may have the same question and would love to see the answer.
I thought I'd just take a minute to have everyone assess how 1st quarter went.
*Is all well with grades, emotionally happy, etc.? Great
*Are grades not up to par? Not feeling emotionally upbeat? Make sure you and your child know that there are resources and people to help!
For students, have them talk to their teachers.... ask what can I do to improve my grades. If they are not "feeling" upbeat.... are they eating right? exercising? sleeping? If all those are YES, and your child is still not their usual self, then maybe they need to see the school counselor or an outside source.
For parents, please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about being a parent. I am always looking for topics that parents want to know more about. Let me know, and I will find the right resources to help all of us be better at parenting!
