Thank you for your hard work with the Reflections program.  Every school participated this year and there were many outstanding entries.  Everyone turned in their entries by the deadline, which makes my job easier!  55 entries out of the 190 entries submitted were selected to advance to the District 10 level.  (PTA District covers eleven counties of East Central Illinois with the largest active Councils being Danville, Champaign, and Urbana.)

The judges this year were:
       Visual Arts
       Denise Seif - Program Director - Parkland Art Department
       Patricia Belleville - Associate Professor of Art Education at Eastern Illinois Univ.     
       Photography
       David Riecks - Photographer - Information Technology and Communications
       Services for the College of ACES - University of Illinois
       Musical Composition
       Zach Browning - Associate Professor, School of Music, University of Illinois
       Literature
       Rich McDonald - Youth Services, Champaign Public Library

Special thanks to Susie Aeilts and Rhonda Gibson for helping set up the display at the Mellon Building.  The display will be up through December 10th so stop by and see it.  Unfortunately we are unable to leave the music and literature on display so it is just the visual arts and photography.

Non- Advancing Entries
Please pick-up your school's non-advancing projects, certificates of participation, and ribbons for advancing to the next judging level on Monday December 13th, from 5:00 - 9:00 or Tuesday the 14th from 1:30 - 2:30 or 5:00 - 6:30 at my house, 2120 Lynwood Drive.  Entries that are not picked up by Tuesday at 6:30 will be taken to your school office on Wednesday morning and left with the secretary.  If you have further questions about pick-up please call me at 352-0809.

Advancing Entries
Please let your students know who is advancing from your school. I do not contact them so you need to let them know if they advanced.  District 10 judging takes place in mid January and I should hear the results in early February and will be in touch with you then.

Thanks for serving as your schools Reflections Chair and I hope many of you will want to continue next year!
