PTA Council to honor District Reflections winners on Thursday, March 6

Each year, more than 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. This year's theme was Accepting Imperfection.

Congratulations to all of our District winners! We look forward to celebrating you on March 6 at 7 p.m. at North Farmington High School.
