REFLECTIONS

 

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with "Reflections," it is a nationwide arts recognition and achievement program in which all of our students here at Monarch Elementary are eligible to participate. Although the program does follow a 'contest' format, the main goal of the program is participation, not winning! It gives every student the opportunity to create a work of art based on a specific theme and to feel good about it.

 

This year's theme is "The Magic of a Moment" and there are six arts areas in which students may participate:

 

     - Literature

     - Musical Composition

     - Photography

     - Visual Arts

     - Dance Choreography

     -Film/Video Production

 

Students are divided and judged in two different age groups:

 

     - K-2

     - 3-5

 

We would like to encourage EVERY student to enter as many times as they would like!! We will be offering a variety of incentives & prizes for students and classrooms that participate!! ALL entries are DUE Monday October 8th. For the program rules and entry forms please see the link on the school web site.

 

If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact either Milana Parsons: milana55@bellsouth.net or Nancy Roy: Nroy107@cs.com

 

Thanks so much! We are looking forward to seeing all the great work of art!!

Box Tops

Attention Monarch Families…Save your Box Tops!!  

We are kicking off the new school year with a Box Top contest. The top two students in the school who bring in the most Box Tops will each receive a $25 gift card to the place of their choice. The contest will end on Friday, October 12. Please make sure your Box Tops are cut on the dotted line and are not expired.  Don’t forget to include your child’s name and teacher’s name on the bag. Remember to ask friends and relatives to save their Box Tops.
