Thank you to all of the schools that participated this year in the annual National PTA Reflections Art Contest. The Art Show was a great success with parents and students coming to view their art. With the exception of the art moving on to the next level, the art will be returned to their schools after Thanksgiving break.
The pieces that were selected to move forward will be sent to Ninth District PTA at the San Diego County Office of Ed. Once there, they will be judged and any pieces moving forward to receive awards will be kept until the Ninth District PTA’s Arts Reception Evening on March 13, 2015. Any pieces not qualifying for special mention will be returned by the end of January.

Please join me in congratulating the following winners in Cajon Valley!
