Reflections – Theme for the 2009-10 school year is: “Beauty is…..”.
Reflections
is an art competition that students can participate in. It is a National
Arts Recognition and Achievement Program that provides opportunities for
students to express themselves.
Students from FW are all welcome to participate. Students who are chosen
from FW High School to have their work go to the next level of competition
will then be judged against other students from the other Federal Way High
Schools. This is a free program and a great way to express your artistic
abilities. Entries are judged on creative ability and interpretation of the
theme. Entries are first judged at FW High School with the winners going
on to compete at the District level. Winners from there are sent to the State
level.
Prizes for winning entries at the FW High School level will be awarded.
All entries must be accompanied by a (Student
Entry Form).
All participants must follow the (General Rules) with each entry submitted.
Categories and rules for the competition are: (Visual
Arts), (Photography),

PTSA Senior Grad Parents:
Due to the low participation in the PTSA Senior Grad Night the past few years
and the high cost of hosting the event, we have decided to do something
else for our Seniors. Ideas include: hosting the Senior breakfast, a last
day of school BBQ, etc. Ideas are needed and a committee will be put together
to discuss and decide what will work best.
Staff , Parents and Seniors input are needed.
If interested please email: Sandy Bjork sbtt4@msn.com
