Huntington Elementary hosted the PTA Region Reflections Award Ceremony on Thursday.

Cottonwood, Huntington, Sally Mauro, Creekview and Wellington elementary schools participated in the program this year. Every year hundreds of PTA organizations recognize thousands of students across the country and in American schools overseas for their participation and achievements in the arts.

Family engagement in the Reflections program is one of PTA’s most important goals. Each student is encouraged by teachers, PTA leaders and parents to reflect on a theme and create an original artwork. Mentors provide impact for students through their encouragement to explore the arts. This program relies heavily on the unique creativity of each student. This year’s theme was “Believe, Dream, Inspire.” The winners are as follows:
