REFLECTIONS PROGRAM
  
 
 
 
 
Thank you for supporting and encouraging your students to express themselves, take creative risks, and submit their work to the Reflections Art Program. This year, the theme was "I Am Hopeful Because . . ." and students creatively shared what makes them feel hopeful.

Students were celebrated with a classroom visit from Principal Grasso and Cadence Park PTSA President, Michelle Villanueva. Photos of the visits were sent in a separate email to each family. Of the eight entries we advanced to Irvine Unified Council, three received additional honors and two will be advancing further in the competition to the fourth district!

This program is designed to bolster confidence and interest in all areas of the arts and I really do hope your student enjoyed participating in the program this year. It takes so much for a student to take the time, put in the thought and effort to create a peice for this competition. Every student should be proud of their work and effort - congratulations to all!

Thank you for sharing what makes you feel hopeful!
