68 projects will advance to the regional Reflections competition
Downers Grove Grade School District 58 celebrated all students who participated in this year’s PTA Reflections competition during a ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at Herrick Middle School. The District also announced the 67 students whose 68 project submissions will advance to the regional level of the competition.
Reflections is a national PTA arts recognition and achievement program for students. Through Reflections, students in preschool through 12th grade are invited to submit works of art in six areas: Dance, Film Production, Literature, Music, Photography and Visual Arts. The theme for the 2017-18 program is "Within Reach." The Illinois PTA will likely announce the Regional PTA Reflections award recipients next month.
