What is Reflections?
The National PTA Reflections Program is an arts recognition and achievement program for students. The Reflections Program provides opportunities for students to express themselves creatively and to receive positive recognition for original works inspired by a pre-selected theme while increasing community awareness of the importance of the arts in education.
Art Categories include Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.

A big thank you to Shelly, for chairing this important committee!
Pennsylvania law expanded school volunteer clearance requirements. Adults applying for or holding an unpaid position as a volunteer with a child care service, a school or a program, activity or service responsible for a child’s welfare or having direct volunteer contact with children, will need the following clearances submitted every five years:
*Act 34 - PA State Police Criminal Record Check: https://epatch.pa.gov/
*Act 151 - PA Child Abuse History: https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
*Additionally, all volunteers now need fingerprints on file in the school office, prior to volunteering.
https://www.dhs.pa.gov/KeepKidsSafe/Clearances/Pages/FBI-Fingerprinting.aspx
Clearances may be sent in the Middle School Office in an envelope with your child's name.
Parents without clearances on file with the school, will not be able to volunteer in our schools. Thank you for helping keep our children safe!
