The student who submits the winning entry (from all PTAs that enter nation-wide) will receive $100 and his or her theme will be presented at the 2010 PTA National Convention.
On Friday, January 15, 2010 at 11:00 a.m., National PTA and the U.S. Department of Education will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate the Reflections 2008-09 "Wow" Exhibit at the U.S. DOE Building in Washington D.C. Maryland had 7 winners of Awards of Excellence and Merit at the National level last year. Any interested PTA member is welcome to attend this ceremony. Contact the office for further details.
In addition, Marissa Rajasekhara has been asked to perform her dance entry that morning. Marissa is an 8th grader at Clarksville Middle School in Howard County. She will perform along with other students from the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area.
Note to Council Reflections Chairs
Your winning entries are due to arrive at the state office on or before February 1, 2010. This is also the deadline for local PTAs without council representation. Please make sure to note the following:
*You must submit your Council Entrants Form electronically. Ideally, both the Council Entrants form and the Council Participation Form will be submitted on a CD. Hard copies of both forms will be very much appreciated as well, packed on top of the artwork.
*Make sure all entries are from schools that are in good standing.
*Each entry form should have a title, an artist statement and both student and parent signatures.
*Make sure to send along the original permission slips for Photography, Dance and Film entries that feature students other than the entrant.
*All Dance and Film entries must be in the proper file format.
Any questions can be addressed to Lynne Pagan, Maryland PTA Reflections Chair: lynne.pagan@gmail.com
The theme for the 2010-2011 National PTA Reflections Program is....."Together we can...."
