Calling All Vikings!

The Mt. Hebron PTSA is excited to announce that we will be conducting the National PTA Reflections Program at our school this year for the second time!

Reflections is a nationwide arts recognition and achievement program sponsored by the PTA. There is an annual theme/topic and students have the opportunity to submit their completed works of art in one or all of these arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.

This year's theme is: "Accepting Imperfection."

Join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with PTA Reflections!

National PTA award categories include the following:
• Outstanding Interpretation Awards: Seven Outstanding Interpretation Awards are
given—one to the submission in each arts category, plus one in the Accessible Artist
Division, that best interprets the theme. Each Outstanding Interpretation award replaces
one of the Awards of Excellence described below. Winners at this level receive: A
certificate, trophy, medal, $800 cash prize, $200 for their Local PTA, and a trip to the 2024
National PTA Convention.
• Awards of Excellence: These are given to the top three scores for each arts category in each
age division. Winners at this level receive: $200 cash prize, certificate, and medal.
• Awards of Merit: These are given to the next five highest scores for each arts category in
each age division. Winners at this level receive: A certificate and medal.

Entry forms and guidelines are available on our website at:
