The Reflections Program is a National PTA arts competition for students from pre-K through grade 12. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works of art in response to a theme.
The selected Bennett artworks will advance to Bellevue council level and have a chance to advance to state and national level. This year is more exciting as the in-person art show is coming back: all submitted pieces will be displayed at the school and have a chance to be voted as “fan-favorite” piece!
