Reflections Winner

Congratulations Noah Lee, CA PTA Reflections Winner for Literature!

 

California PTA Reflections winners have been announced and we’ve got a Vista Verde Viking moving on to National!

 

Due to unprecedented events of this past year, the 2020-21 Reflections theme, “I Matter Because…” inspired hundreds of students from all over the state to send in their submissions but seventh grader, Noah Lee’s original poem, “Reasons” continues to make an impact. Noah will represent Vista Verde, the City of Irvine, and the state of California at the National PTA! Winners will be announced at the National PTA convention in May!

 

Good luck, Noah! We are so proud of you!
