REFLECTIONS
Reflections is an annual event that occurs every fall nationwide. The National PTA assigns the theme and students are encouraged to submit original artwork, photographs, literature, film video, music compositions and dance choreography to their school in early November. Each school sends 20 Finalists to the Shoreline PTA Council District Competition in mid-November and the submissions are displayed in the Shoreline Center lobby through early January. During the second week of January every year, Council hosts a district-wide reception for the school finalists and announces the 36 winners heading to the State level competition. This year, the district reception is Wednesday January 15th, 2020!
Reception 2020: Wednesday, January 15th 6:30-8:00 p.m. (Shoreline Room)
Come and check out the display in the lobby of the Shoreline center, located at 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline WA. On January 15th the display will be moved to the Shoreline Room for the Reception. We would love some help between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. and between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Students welcome!
*All participating schools are being asked to drop off 2 dozen cookies to the Shoreline Room located on the north side of the conference center, across from the soccer fields. Drop off between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. or after 5:00 p.m. on January 15th.

Calvin Nguyen, a 2nd grader at Lake Forest Park Elementary won for his poem titled “My Tiny Hero’s Original Story” in the literature category. He wrote his poem about his baby sister. Here he is posing with her at the Shoreline District Reflections celebration this past January, with his poem and blue ribbon above them.

Jerimiah Johnson, a 12th grader at Shorecrest won for his poem titled “Hero Around Me” in the special artist literature category. He wrote his poem about his Teacher, Veronica Cook pictured here with him. We love their costumes that fit the “Heroes Around Me” Reflections theme this year.

Over the many years of the Reflections program, there have been very few Shoreline Reflections participants with pieces that advance to nationals, so it is a thrill to have three. Congratulations to all Shoreline Reflections participants and to these three creative kids who will now represent Shoreline at nationals!
