Recognition of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Reflections Dance Choreography Award of Excellence Winner (Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

National PTA Reflections is America’s oldest and largest arts education program of its kind.  The program was developed in 1969 by Colorado’s PTA President Mary Lou Anderson to encourage students to explore their talents and express themselves.  Since then, the Reflections Program has inspired millions of students to reflect on a specific theme and create original artwork. 

Each year, students in grades Pre-K through 12 are recognized for bringing the theme to life through film production, dance choreography, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.  The 2013/2014 Reflections theme was “Believe, Dream, Inspire.”

We are proud to recognize the winner in the intermediate division for Dance Choreography Award of Excellence.
