Peralta District Recognition Ceremony

Thanks to the efforts of all our Reflections Chairs from Council to each individual school which participated, Peralta District PTA had a great celebration of the arts on Saturday, February 7th. This year we had 1,604 students from 41 schools in Alameda County participate. Peralta received 63 entries from these schools and will be sending 28 pieces to California State PTA. 

This year Peralta gave out 2 types of awards, The Award of Merit and Award of Excellence. Award of Merit, is for artwork that was in contention to move forward. The Award of Excellence is for pieces that have been chosen by our judges that best represent this year’s theme and are artistically creative and skillful. These pieces move forward to the State Reflections Program. Only 1 piece per category, per grade division can be chosen.

Pieces moving to State will go through the judging process again but this time with all the artwork from schools in California. Pieces are then selected to move forward to National.

Everyone will receive a Certificate of Participation. Congratulations to all. Every piece this year was truly spectacular, and our judges had a difficult time making the decision of what to move forward.

Remember to start announcing next year’s theme, "What My Culture Means to Me”

 Please let your schools know the results.
