Diversity is...? Reflections Winners Announced

A special thank you to all of the participants in the 2011-2012 Reflections contest this year. This competition's theme was "Diversity is." The annual contest is sponsored by the York County Council PTA/PTSA in conjunction with the National PTA. Students throughout the York County School Division submitted original entries at their school level in the following categories: Dance Choreography, Film/Video Production, Musical Composition, Literature, Photography and Visual Arts. Each category is broken down into four divisions of competition - Primary (Preschool - grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle (Grades 6-8) and Senior (grades 9-12). All entries are judged on artistic merit, creativity, mastery of the medium and interpretation of the theme. Student entries that placed 1st at the school level then moved onto the County level. First place winners at the County level advanced to the District level for a chance to move onto the state and then national levels. Over 70 student works placed at the county level. Of these, the twenty 1st place winners in their respective divisions moved to the District level of competition. At the District level, eight of the entries captured first place and are advancing to State level. Congratulations to all of our winners!
