Encourage Your Child’s Creativity and Growth with Reflections!

🎨🎭🖌️💃🏼

Corbell PTA is excited to announce this year’s Reflections Arts Program! The 2024-2025 theme is “Accepting Imperfection.” This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to express their unique ideas through art, music, writing, and more!

🖌 Bonus: Thanks to our partners at Mission Renaissance Fine Art Classes, all participants will receive a FREE art class just for submitting an entry!

Why should your child participate?
The Reflections program not only nurtures creativity but also helps kids build confidence by sharing their personal vision and voice. It’s a chance for them to reflect on the theme in their own way, while learning the value of self-expression and the beauty of imperfection.

For more details, check out the flyer and scan the QR code for the entry form. Let’s inspire our kids to embrace creativity and explore what “Accepting Imperfection” means to them!
