Twenty-two Downers Grove District 58 students will advance from the regional to the state level of the PTA Reflections arts recognition and achievement program.
Through Reflections, students in kindergarten through eighth grade are invited to submit works of art in six areas: dance, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. The theme for the 2023-24 program is “I Am Hopeful Because!”
The Illinois PTA will review each student’s work of art and announce those entries advancing to the national level of PTA Reflections this spring. Congratulations to the following students:
