Shoreline students win awards at State PTA Reflections arts contest

"Together we can make a happy city" by Maki Nakano.

Wednesday, March 9, the Washington State PTA announced the 2010-11 state Reflections Awards Winners which included three students from Shoreline schools.

The Reflections Program is a National PTA and WSPTA cultural arts competition. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works.

This year's theme was "Together We Can". Each student's entry went through judging at their local PTA then at the District Council level before moving onto the state competition. Outstanding Interpretation winners in each category move onto the National PTA competition.
