2011/2012 THEME IS

“DIVERSITY MEANS…”

• Anyone can participate in National PTA’s annual Reflection competition.
• Just think about the theme and talk about what it means to you with your family and friends.
• Then, create a piece of artwork, take a photo, compose a song, choreograph a dance, produce a film, or write a story about it.

All entries will be reviewed for creativity and interpretation of the theme. Entries are due in the Fall.

All participants will have their art, literature and photography displayed in the Eader Art Exhibit at Open House.

The top 3 entries of each category will go to the PTA Council to compete with other schools in our area. 

In the past, Eader’s winners of visual art and photography have had their art displayed at the Huntington Central Library.  Next year it could be yours!
