The popular vote winners are:

The reason this celebration of amazing student work happens is because of the intense effort, care and hard work of the PTA Reflections chair people, and their support teams. Every PTA has parents who volunteer to be in charge of acquiring, managing, judging, and celebrating hundreds of pieces of art for Reflections, as well as helping put on the reception.

A world of thanks is due to all of the local unit chairs, and their support teams for their dedication and hard work supporting the Arts in their schools, and for making this year’s Reflections Art Show a success.

Thanks to Lisa Painter for making beautiful centerpieces for the tables. Thanks also to Amanda Cohrs for shopping for all of the supplies needed for punch for 250 people, as well as MnM’s. Thanks to Louann Garceau for picking up all of the cookies, delivering them to the Shoreline Center and staying to help set everything up. Thanks to Ginger Fahrenwald Villanueva for setting up on her way to a RepBod meeting. Thank you to Marley Banker and kids for moving / setting up panels.

Thanks to all of the Cascade Kids for pitching in where needed.  A big thanks is needed for Frank Sanborn for essential technical and moral support, and for Sherry Edwards for wrangling, rallying and coordinating this great event. Thanks most of all to the students of Shoreline who shared their amazing talents with the community.

Last but not least, thanks need to also be extended to the Shoreline Center and the Arts Council for providing help, space and panels, and to Starbuck’s for providing coffee for the reception.
