National PTA has released the names of those students that are being recognized at the national level of the Reflections Program this year. Missouri PTA is proud to announce that two students from Missouri have received the National PTA Award of Excellence for their interpretation of the “I Will Change the World By” theme. Please join us as we congratulate:
Lillia Roberson of Voy Spears Jr. Elementary PTA in Blue Springs for being recognized for her entry in Primary Music Composition, “I Can Make a Difference – 3Rs”.
Alyssa Hakan of Central High School PTSA in Springfield for being recognized for her entry “Earth Dance” in High School Dance Choreography.
As Award of Excellence recipients these students will receive a $200 Young Artist Scholarship, a Silver Medal and a Certificate of Excellence from National PTA. Their work will also be featured in the traveling exhibition.
Missouri PTA is so proud of all of our State Reflections Award recipients! Recognizing the creative efforts of our Missouri students is of the utmost importance and while sadly we have to cancel the State Showcase in May, we are working to display the artwork digitally. We are working on the details of this new experience and will be in contact with local leaders and families as we know more and fine tune some details. Thank you to all of our participating Reflections units and to the award recipients!
Reflections is timeless and enduring and we will overcome the current challenges to bring Arts
Education to the forefront. Stay tuned for details and the announcement of the 2020-2021 theme and
