The PTA Reflection contest continues through October 31st. The theme this year is “The Magic of a Moment.” Students in all grades may submit artwork to their school in six categories: visual arts, photography, musical composition, literature, film production and dance choreography.

PTA membership drives are ongoing at all schools. Membership matters! Be a part of the action. Join your school’s PTA.
