Wolftrap Elementary School would like to congratulate the following students for winning their Division in the National Reflections Art Competition. This year's theme was "What is Your Story?" and students interpreted this theme through their artwork in different divisions.

What is Reflections?
What is the PTA Reflections Program? Why should my child try it?- Reflections is an arts program sponsored by the national PTA.
- Students enter original works in one or more of these categories but only one piece of artwork per category is accepted: Visual arts (painting, drawing, collage,etc.), music composition, literature, dance choreography, photography, or film, plus a special artist category for students with special needs.
- Artworks interpret a different theme each year. The 2016-17 theme is “What Is Your Story?”.
- Works that best interpret the theme may go on to county, district, state and national competitions. Every child that enters is invited to the Reflections reception in the spring where all of the children are honored for their work and awards are presented.
Reflections involves awards, but the real focus is simply on getting children interested and involved in the arts. BEFORE your child begins creating their entry, please read the rules –see below.
Please visit the following link, the VA PTA website, for more information about Reflections - click on “Student Entry Form” which will need to be included with the artwork. We will have a box setup in the main office at Wolftrap for the kids to drop off their work.
