Reflections Thumbnail GraphicOn Friday, January 9th, ATS will hold our annual reflections awards assembly for the 240+ ats stars who submitted PTA Reflections projects. 

This task involves a lot of parent support, so thank you to all the parents who supported ATS’ ongoing efforts to inspire creativity and support the arts. 

 

ATS submitted 10 Outstanding Interpretation entries to the county-level competition and will honor dozens of additional awards such as Awards of Excellence (runner-ups), Awards of Merit (honorable mention), and Judge’s Choice Awards (special recognitions) at this week’s assembly.

Each entry was scored blindly by different judges who volunteered their time and professional insights. Let’s give a huge thank you to our volunteer judges from the arts community.
