Fifty-six ISD student artists advance to state Reflections contest

Nearly two hundred students across the Issaquah School District submitted works of art to this year's local PTA Reflections contest. Fifty-six of those talented artists had their artwork selected to move onto the state level for a chance at the national title.

The PTA Reflections Program is an annual cultural arts competition that encourages students across the U.S. to use their imagination and creativity; participants must focus their artistic work around a new theme each year. The theme for 2013 is “The Magic of a Moment.”
