Information about the Reflections Program

The Reflections program is a National program that encourages students to express themselves through their artistic talents.  This program is for all students (preschool - 12th grade).
At WHE students may enter one piece in each of 8 categories:

Visual arts
Literature
3D Art
Photography
Musical Composition
Film
Dance
Theater

Students compete in different age groups:
Primary (K - 2nd grade)
Intermediate (3rd - 5th grade)
Middle / Junior (6th - 8th grade)

Our local PTA is responsible for judging the Primary and Intermediate categories, this year all of the Middle Junior entries were judged with Sandridge Junior high.

The top two entries from each category and age group move onto the Council level (at Roy High).  We had one student from the local PTA and one who was judged at the Junior High move on past the council level to the Regional level.

To find out more about this great program please check out the UTA PTA website

If you want to start planning for next years entries the category guidelines are a good place to start.  These are for this years theme but will still give you a good idea of what you can and cannot do.

REMEMBER students can enter in multiple categories but only ONE time per category.  (Example, 1 visual arts, 1 musical composition, 1 photography).

We will have next years forms in the office NEXT year and they will also be available at the UTA PTA website.

Next years theme will be "The Magic of a Moment"
