The Eader PTA extends a warm welcome to those of you who are new to our school and big welcome back to all those returning! We are excited for an incredible school year ahead!

Participation in the Reflections Program is a great way for students to explore and learn about various art forms. Creating art is a valuable learning process that challenges students to use their critical thinking skills as well as their creative talents to create art that supports a specific theme. The theme for the 2010-2011 year is “Together We Can..”
Students may submit an entry in any of the six arts areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted. The six arts areas are as follows:
•       Literature
•       Musical composition
•       Photography
•       Visual arts
•       Dance Choreography
•       Film/Video Production
Participation in the Reflections Program is organized by school grade. Student works are critiqued against others in the same grade division. This allows recognition and judging of artworks by appropriate developmental age and skill levels. The four grade divisions are as follows:
•       Primary Preschool Grade 2 or up to age 7
•       Intermediate Grades 3-5 or ages 8-10
•       Middle/Junior Grades 6-8 or ages 11-13
•       Senior Grades 9-12 or ages 14+
