🪁 2024-2025 Reflections Student Entry Form

Franklin Elementary is proud to participate in the PTA Reflections program for the 2024-2025 school year. This year's theme, "Accepting Imperfection," invites our students to explore and express their unique perspectives through various art forms.

The theme was created by Paige Opaska, a student from San Antonio, Texas, who won the 2022 Reflections Theme Search Contest. It encourages our young artists to embrace the idea that our flaws and mistakes are just as valuable as our strengths, highlighting the beauty in our shared human experience.

We're excited to see how Franklin Elementary students will interpret this theme through dance, film, literature, music, photography, and visual arts. This program offers a wonderful opportunity for our children to showcase their creativity and gain recognition for their artistic talents.
