Reflections Art Program
The Newport Mill MS PTA is sponsoring the new 2009 Reflections Art Program! This is a great program that is a celebration of art with the 2009-2010 theme of "Beauty is..."
Middle school students may create an original piece of artwork that expresses their interpretation of "Beauty is..." and shows their talent in one of six categories: musical composition, dance choreography, film production, literature, visual arts, and photography.
All submissions are due to Ms. Morris by November 19, 2009. There will be judging at the school, county, state, and national levels, with prizes awarded to the winners. Students are judged on how well they use artistic vision to portray the theme, rather than the actual technique/complexity of the work. Each entry must be the original work of ONE student only and must be accompanied by a completed official entry form. Students cannot receive any creativity help from other students or adults for the actual work, and students must read and follow the rules in each category in order to participate.
We have very talented students at NMMS, so let your child shine! This past year, seven NMMS entries were selected for the Montgomery County PTA Reflections, of which two were selected for the MD State PTA and one was even selected for the National PTA level! Rules and entry forms are available by contacting Liz Murphy (301-949-6105 or brokieramom@verizon.net) or Harriet Dugan (301-318-3719 or harriet@charitychoices.com).
