Reflections is an annual event that occurs every fall nationwide. The National PTA chooses a theme (from a contest of student submissions) and students are encouraged to submit original artwork, photographs, literature, film video, music compositions and dance choreography to their schools in November.

2018-2019 Reflections
There were three students from Shoreline schools who received awards at the state level for the Reflections Art Program. There were approximately 900 submissions to state with only 92 finalists total. Of those, there were 27 students who earned the first-place award of “Outstanding Interpretation” for their artwork. All three Shoreline winners received “Outstanding Interpretation” and are now moving on to the national level competition!
Tara Hanks, an 8th grader at Kellogg Middle School won for her piano composition called “Dance of the Forest” in the music composition category.

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!
