There were many GHS students that participated in the PTA's Reflections Program this year, which is an arts recognition and achievement program inspiring students to creatively express themselves with original works of art.  


This year’s pre-selected theme was "Diversity Means...", and students submitted entries in six arts categories: Literature, Musical composition, Photography, Visual arts, Dance Choreography, Film/Video Production.

 

The Reflections Program followed a "contest" format, and participation was organized by grade. Student works were critiqued against others in the same arts category, and the following works were selected to advance to the Council Level where they will be judged with works of other students from the same grade division district-wide. 

 

LITERATURE  -   SENIOR AGE GROUP  

1st  Place - "Diversity" by Samuel Crenshaw

1st Place - "A Harmonious Song" by Brittany Roe

 

VISUAL ARTS  -  SENIOR AGE GROUP

2nd Place - "Rhythmic Unity" by Paul Swope

3rd Place - "Differences" by Bailey Myler"

Congratulations to each participant in the 2011-2012 Reflections program.


The time and effort devoted to this project was much appreciated.


Good luck to the students with works advancing to the next level!
