Reflections Art Program – Call for Entries!
The Reflections Art Program is an annual PTA sponsored program encouraging students to participate in the arts.
The 2018-2019 Reflections theme is, “Heroes Around Me”. All Vista Verde students are invited to participate. Students may submit their artwork, reflecting the 2018-2019 Reflections Art Program theme, in one of six (6) categories: Visual Art (2D & 3D), Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film Production.
There are 3 grade categories (K-2, 3-5, 6-8), as well as a Special Artist’s category. The Special Artist Division welcomes students from all grades and abilities and offers non-artistic accommodations (e.g. adaptive technology; transcribing; holding a camera) for students to participate fully in the Reflections Art Program.
It’s easy to participate:
1. Reflect on this year’s theme: “Heroes Around Me”.
2. Create an original work inspired by the theme.
3. Celebrate your achievements and win prizes!

Blessings in a Backpack
Dear Fabulous Vista Verde Community!
Due to the remarkable generosity of our Vista Verde Community, last year’s “Blessings in a Backpack” community service project was such a huge success that we are going to do it again. We will begin August 15th. I am always amazed at how thoughtful and compassionate Vista Verde families are. Thank you for all that you do to make Vista Verde the remarkable school that it is!!!
