REFLECTIONS PROGRAM
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.

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!
