Important information for ALL Hackensack PTA Leaders & All Hackensack Teachers who LOVE the Reflections program as much as me :)
5 Steps to having an AWESOME PTA Reflections Program this YEAR!
Step 1: Getting Started (September)
ARTS in EDUCATION WEEK (Sept. 9th) is the HACKENSACK PTA REFLECTIONS KICKOFF WEEK! It's a great week to promote the program through email blasts, morning announcements, and any other way you contact our students & families!
Step 2: Promote Your Program (September/October)
Share the link to this site with your STUDENTS at least TWICE a WEEK during the month of September & October with a quick reminder to participate in this year's program.
Our DEADLINE is NOVEMBER 30, 2023.
Step 3: Gathering & Judging (November)
I would love to have a point person at each school to help gather the entries. The entry packet has the students leaving the Reflections work at their school's MAIN OFFICE by the deadline. Once all work has been received, it must be sorted, logged, and judged (when necessary). Each local unit is permitted to send a certain amount of pieces per grade division & category. More information about judging will come later, right now I am looking for people to help with this process. Please reach out to me if you can help, thank you in advance :)
Step 4: Celebrate (TBA)
We will be celebrating all our awesome Reflections Artwork. Stay tuned for more details.
Step 5: Advance entries to your Council by January 8, 2024
My County deadline is approximately one month after the Local Unit deadline.
The latest for my County results to the State PTA is Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
