Almost 350 DISD Students Participate in PTA Reflections Program: Look Within
National PTA's Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. The theme for the 2019-2020 program year is Look Within. Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
This year, Denton ISD had almost 350 entries from 26 campuses participate in PTA Reflections program. The schools advanced 142 student works across all six PTA Reflection Art Categories and Grade Divisions. Artwork will be displayed in the North Denton Library during winter break, Sunday, December 22 through Friday, January 3rd.
Congratulations to these DISD students that advanced from their campus to the district-level contest. Students advancing to State Level contest will be announced in January. Special thanks to Angie Morse, Denton Community Council of PTA's Vice President of Arts in Education.
