PTA REFLECTIONS PROGRAM
The National PTA Reflection Program recognizes and celebrates student creativity. Open to students in grades Pre-K through 12, it invites original works of art in various categories. The Seacliff PTA uses volunteer judges with experience in their assigned categories to conduct a blind review of the artwork. After points are calculated, rankings are determined. Selected pieces will advance through the Local PTA, Council PTA, District PTA, State PTA, and finally to the National PTA.
COUNCIL LEVEL AWARDS

Last month, students who earned 1st place in their art category moved on to the Huntington Union Council (HUC) level to be judged by a new judging panel against students from all Huntington and Fountain Valley participating elementary schools.
