More than 90 students from Olmsted Falls participated in this year’s “Reflections” contest. “Reflections” is an annual cultural arts program held through National PTA. Children in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: literature, visual arts, photography, dance choreography, film/video and musical composition.
The Reflections program allows PTA’s throughout the state to recognize children for their creativity in portraying yearly themes. The theme of this year’s contest was “The Magic of a Moment”. Two students were awarded Honorable Mentions at the state level for their work. Congratulations Leah LaPinta, Middle School-Photography, and Stephanie Kollar, High School-Film Production. These students were honored at last week's PTA Volunteer Dinner. Pictured below (L to R): Leah LaPinta, Olmsted Falls PTA Reflections Chair Julianne Allen and Stephanie Kollar.
Students are encouraged to start creating for next year’s theme: “Believe, Dream, Inspire”.
Olmsted Falls PTA Council is pleased to announce the following local“Reflections” winners. Thanks to all students for their participation!
