Most contestants simply say goodbye after they receive their awards, but many of those who placed in the top five of the National PTA Reflections program will get to show their stuff one more time.
On March 23, Quinlan Community Center will host young musicians, artists and poets who entered the contest from the Cupertino-Fremont Council Parent-Teacher Association and other local PTAs. The youngsters created their works for the national program, which encourages creative exploration on a specific theme each year. This year, the theme was "A Different Kind of Hero."
All first-place entries in the council recently went to the state PTA for judging. The areas included are literature, musical composition, photography and the visual arts. Grade levels include primary, which is preschool through second grade; intermediate, which is grades three through five; middle/junior, grades six through eight and senior, which is ninth through 12th grade.
