Any Florida High students feeling artistic? The PTSA is once again sponsoring the Reflections national creative arts project, and the contest will begin full force toward the end of September once the state PTA finalizes the rules. This program allows students grades K through 12 to explore their artistic abilities and compete for awards in various categories by submitting original works under this year’s theme: “Diversity means…” Students may submit works in any or all of six arts areas: literature, photography, musical composition, film production, dance choreography, and visual arts (including drawing, painting, print making and collage). All entries will be due by Friday December 2, 2011.
We have had hundreds of Florida High students participate in this contest over the past few years with several county-wide and state-wide student winners taking home cash awards. We will again work with faculty to incorporate contest entries into their curricula or give extra class credit for submissions. Entry forms and details will be posted to the PTSA website and distributed to faculty and parents later in September-keep a lookout for listserve emails and paper notices sent home with students for further details.
We also will be looking for parents with an artistic or literary background to serve as judges or otherwise help with publicity and coordination of this important program, so if you’re interested contact either Reflections committee co-chair: Danni Vogt (dannivogt@embarqmail.com or 877-5641) or Precious Boatwright (preciousone72@yahoo.com) for more information.
