We would like to thank all of the students who participated in the PTA REFLECTIONS art program this year with the theme "Beauty Is...".We had lots of entries from all grades.
We are excited to announce that of the twelve finalists from Whittier sent on to compete at city level, we had two winners who will go on to compete at the state level, as well as one artist recognized with an honorable mention (see names and details below).
The variety of artwork and creativity by Whittier students was wonderful. The artwork is hanging in the school lobby-with photocopies of the finalists' work. REFLECTIONS Finalist and Honorable Mention art entries from throughout the city are on public view at the Seattle Center, Main House (above the Food Court) through Dec. 31 Again, hats off to all who entered and a big thank you to all the parents, teachers and staff who helped make the contest a success.--Linda Oakley and Diane Sandoval-Onikubo, co-chairs
