The Reflections program is a National PTA and WSPTA cultural arts competition. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for all students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. We have an art show at school around December 10. Winners at this school level will have their work forwarded to a competition among students from the Bellevue School District.
