The winning entries are presented here in the Reflections Gallery. The Washington State PTA has made every effort to accurately represent the artwork and present error-free information, based on the entries submitted.

Thanks to the Reflections Committee for making this program possible: Pam Deming - Chairperson, Wendy Tumbleson, Lee Jardine, Sharon Abraham, Marcy Candland, Chris Zilinsky, Debbie Thoma, Laura Tisdale, Gregg Lobdell, WSPTA Program Director Maureen Monson, and the many supporters who organized the entries and assisted at the awards ceremony. We are also grateful to all of the judges who volunteered their time and expertise, and to every Reflections chairperson, who made Reflections possible for the children of Washington. Special thanks to Worldwise Education for their donation of greeting cards with the students artwork and to the Sea-Tac DoubleTree Hotel for providing a reception for our Reflections award winners and their families. Finally, thanks to the WSPTA Office Staff, Bill Williams, Morgan Cain, Melissa Anderson, Megan Drygas, Bonnie Hageman, Pat Nelson and Karen Fisker-Andersen, who make everything run smoothly.

The Reflections theme for 2009-10 is "Beauty Is..." and the theme for 2010-11 is "Together We Can". It's not too early to start thinking about your entry. Rules and entry forms will be available in the Fall.
