2012-2013 Theme: "The Magic of a Moment..."

 

The PTSA Reflections Art Program Certificates and Ribbons which were not handed out at the Recognition Night have been given to the student’s teachers to be handed out.  Please look for these in the next few days.  Also, we are looking into displaying the show at the Victor Free Library, so we are holding onto the artwork until we know more about this.  Details will follow soon.  Thank you for participating!

The Victor Central School District is participating in the annual National PTA Reflections Program.  Reflections is an art program which offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition.  Each year, a new theme is chosen from thousands of ideas submitted by students from around the country. 

 

For over 40 years, the PTA Reflections Program has encouraged millions of students across the country, in preschool through grade 12 to explore their artistic talents.  Children are encouraged to create original works of art based on the year’s theme.  Entries are accepted in six categories; Dance Choreography, Film/Video Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.  Under the related files below, you will find the student rules, the rules for each category, and the entry form. 

 

The Reflections Program is structured to recognize students at local, regional, state and national levels.  Entries are first judged at the local level, where selected works are chosen to be presented at the next level.  At the national level, Awards of Excellence and Awards of Merit are presented in each grade division within each arts area.  One Outstanding Interpretation award recipient is also chosen in each art area.

The Victor Central School District along with the Victor Central PTSA is encouraging students to participate in this program’s fourth year at Victor Central Schools.  As parents, teachers and community members, we all play a critical role in fostering our children’s creative process.  This program is a great opportunity for our children to create works of art for fun and expression, and to be recognized for their artistic efforts.

 

This program is open to all Victor students from preschool through grade 12, including children with special needs.

 

Please visit the 2010-2011 "Together We Can..." online gallery.  To get to the online gallery, go to the subpage of the Reflections Art Program listed on the left side of the screen.
