Newtown Students Win At The State Level Reflections Program
Multiple students were named in the different divisions at the state level of this yearâs Connecticut PTA Reflections Program recently. Each year the local and state level PTA members hold the Reflections Program, which has students submit different types of artwork, including photography, dance and music, at their school. Winners are chosen from each participating school and sent to state level of the program.
