| Reflections 2011-2012 "Diversity means...." The Reflections Program provides students with the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Reflections can also serve as an outlet for students to creatively explore what they are learning in the classroom. When children express themselves through words, pictures, music, dance, film, and other art media, they grow intellectually; they learn to analyze their thoughts and feelings. The Reflections Program helps parents encourage the creativity, self-discovery, and lifelong learning of their children. Supporting the PTA Reflections Program is one way you can increase student achievement, foster student talents, and promote the arts. Reflections Art Workshop Students can join the PTA's Reflections Coordinator, Maureen Vlases for an art workshop and learn about the PTA Reflections Program. It is free to all Parkside students. The PTA will provide materials, the students just need to bring their creativity. If you have questions you can email Maureen at Reflections@parksidepta.org. Students will be responsible for their own transportation home. This year's art workshops for the PTA Reflections program will be after school on Fridays, October 21st and 28th. We will be meeting in the multi-purpose room from 2:10 until 3:10pm Download a workshop permission slip here Download a Student Entry Form Here
