As students are working on creating their Reflections Cultural Arts Contest entries (deadline: November 18), there is another way that Verner students can participate in Reflections. Each year, a Theme Search Contest is held where students can submit ideas for upcoming years. Entries are narrowed down to 5 per state and then the National PTA Reflections Committee makes a final selection.

Students have until November 4 to submit theme ideas for the 2017-2018 Reflections Contest. Interested students should complete the theme entry form (linked below) and return to the Alabama PTA by the deadline (11/4/15). The student who submits the winning entry will receive $100, and his or her theme will be presented at the Annual National PTA Convention and Exhibition.
