ABOUT ARTS IN EDUCATION

Park Glen Elementary PTA believes all students deserve the opportunity to take part in the arts, both in school and in the community. The arts can positively affect entire school culture- especially student motivation, attitudes, and attendance- which encourages students to stay in school, succeed in school, succeed in work and succeed in life! We are committed to ensuring that every child has access to- and takes part in- high quality arts learning experiences.

Special thanks and congratulations to Paige Opaska from Barbara Bush Middle School PTA in Texas who created this year's Reflections theme. Meet Paige and learn about her inspiration.

Reflections 

Calling all PGE Cheetahs!

Do you like to dance, sing, write, create music or videos, take photographs, or create works of art? This is your opportunity to show your creativity!

Students of ALL ages and abilities are encouraged to create and submit original works of art in any of the following categories:

Dance Choreography
Film Production
Literature
Music Composition
Photography
Visual Arts
Special Artist Division (STACC Students)

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feeling 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.

General rules and entry forms are available on this page and on the PTA Reflections Table located in the main hall at school.

You may submit your entry directly to your teacher or place them in the Reflections drop box PTA Reflections Table.
