The exceptionally creative works of 158 Shoreline students were celebrated at the Shoreline PTA Council’s Reflections Art Reception on January 7, 2016.

These 158 students were selected by their dedicated, hardworking local PTAs from hundreds of submissions to compete at the PTA Council Level.

All students were encouraged by their local PTAs to reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Judging for Reflections happens at the School, Council, District, State, and National levels.

This year’s Reflections theme was “Let Your Imagination Fly”. Shoreline PTA Council judges selected the works of 30 students from the 158 submissions based on their creativity, originality and representation of theme to move on to the State competition. All finalists received ribbons.
