Thank you to all the students who took their time to create and participate in this year’s Reflections art program, “Heroes Around Me!” We are in awe of their creativity and enormous talent to take a theme and let their imagination and observations do the talking!
Submissions were due yesterday and judging will occur early next week. If your student submitted a piece of artwork, you should be receiving a confirmation by Saturday.
*** You may also receive an email if the submission is missing a consent form or if artwork was not submitted properly. For example, for all visual arts submitted but is not attached to a firm surface, you will receive communication to pick it up and mount it on something that will keep it sturdy. Judging will occur on Monday afternoon. Please make sure to contact us if you have any concerns: reflections@vistaverdepta.org.
Please make sure to visit all of the beautiful submissions in the library next week!
Thank you, once again, for letting your students share their gift of creativity!
