Clarke competes in PTA Reflections contest

Students at W.T. Clarke Middle and High School participated in PTA Reflections, a national arts recognition program. Through the Clarke PTSA, 29 students from both the Middle and High School submitted creative works inspired by the 2010–2011 Reflections Program theme, “Together We Can.” 

For over 40 years, the national PTA Reflections Program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. PTA believes that all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in the annual Reflections Program. Students in preschool through grade 12 are invited to create and submit works of art in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts.

Congratulations to Gregory Almeida, who was named Nassau Regional Finalist for his musical composition. We at the Clarke PTSA are very proud of our students and wish them success in their future. 

“An arts education is important to the educational growth of children,” said National PTA President Charles J. “Chuck” Saylors. “That’s why we’re proud that PTA Reflections, in its more than 40 years, has given millions of students a way to express themselves through the arts. We’re excited for W.T. Clarke PTSA and the creative energy of their students.”
