Raise Your Hand Texas
Raise Your Hand Texas is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to supporting public schools. They are a bipartisan group of business (HEB, TI and AT&T to name a few) and community leaders (our own Anne Foster, former RISD School Board President, is Executive Director), parents and tax payers committed to:
- Celebrating the successes of our public schools;
- Defending our public schools from unfounded and unfair criticism;
- Strengthening our public schools by seeking additional state resources; and
-Making practical suggestions that will provide a safe and effective learning environment for all Texas children.
Raise Your Hand Texas is asking all concerned parents to just add their name to support this cause - to help strengthen Public Education for all children in Texas.
Take a look at their web site, sign your support and forward it on to 5 friends. Raise Your Hand Texas is not asking for financial support or contributions, and you may receive an e-mail periodically to keep you updated on their progress. Raise Your Hand Texas is not a PAC (Political Action Committee) nor do they support any particular candidates. Our Texas PTA is working with Raise Your Hand Texas on some joint projects since both groups have very similar goals.

"WOW"
2008-2009 Reflections Theme
What is Reflections?
The PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program. The Texas Reflections program has the most participation of any PTA program with entries totaling over 75,000 across the state. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: literature, musical composition, photography, the visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video. In its more than 30-year history, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art. Each year, the Reflections Program challenges students to create art that interprets a specific theme. Students participate in the Reflections Program by submitting entries to their local PTA
Participation
Young artists participate in the Reflections Program through their local PTA or PTSA. A student may submit an entry in any of the six arts areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted. Arts areas are: literature, musical composition, photography, the visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video. Participation in the Reflections Program is organized by school grade. This allows recognition and judging of artworks by appropriate developmental age and skill levels. Grade divisions are: Primary (preschool-grade 2), Intermediate (grades 3-5), Middle/Junior (grades 6-8) and Senior (grades 9-12).
The Reflections Program is structured for PTAs to recognize students at the Local PTA, Council PTA, Area PTA, state and national levels.
A Word to Parents...
As with any student activity, parent involvement and support are very important. But parents must remember that student artists need to create their own works. Children must make their own decisions about what to create and what to enter in the Reflections Program. By creating their own literature, musical composition, photography, the visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video, children not only learn about the arts, more importantly, they learn about themselves. Supporting the Reflections Program is one way that you can support the arts in your home, school and community.
ENTRY DEADLINE IS November 4th, 2008
For rules and entry forms, please visit the Texas PTA website.
