Promote creative arts, exhibit kids’ artistic talents!

Entry deadline: Monday, October 22, 2018 3pm

The arts—and National PTA Reflections—support student success and serve as a valuable tool for engaging families and building strong partnerships in the school community. Founded in 1969, Reflections engages nearly 300,000 students and their families in arts education activities each year by encouraging students to explore the arts for fun and recognition.

Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 students are encouraged to submit original works of art in one or more of the six areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted.

• Literature
• Photography
• Dance Choreography
• Musical Composition
• Visual arts
• Film Production

Qualified art work will be moved up from the school level of competition to FUSD, Peralta district, California, and national PTA level.

Brookvale PTA endeavors to enrich student’s education experience by promoting music, art, cultural awareness, fitness, S.T.E.M. etc. Don’t miss this opportunity to exhibit your kids’ artistic talent!

PTA members help shape the various PTA activities and decisions which directly benefits our students and teachers. All family members, including students are welcome to become Brookvale PTA members and attend our meetings. However, only adults can vote on Brookvale PTA decisions at the meetings. If you were a PTA member last year, you will still need to join this year.

Memberships are $10 per member.

Your Brookvale PTA membership includes a membership in the California State PTA as well. As a member of California State PTA, you advocate for children, promote parent and family involvement in schools, and improve the lives of all children and families. Here are a few extra perks of membership available exclusively to CAPTA members.

Brookvale PTA uses Konstella (CODE: tELklf) to communicate with members and volunteers, organize committees, share information on PTA programs, and generally let parents connect directly with the PTA board and with each other. We encourage all parents to sign up. (If you have a Konstella account from last year, you do not need to create another).

We also invite you to our online community at www.facebook.com/BrookvalePta/ to connect with other Brookvale parents.
