Each year for the last 40 years, the nationally recognized, PTA Arts in Education Reflections Program challenges students to create art, inspired by a specific theme.
The Goochland Elementary School PTA wants to thank everyone who participated this year by submitting an entry for the theme: “Together we can…”

Our 1st place winners will move up to the COUNTY competition. All of our participants were recognized in morning announcements last week and presented with a certificate. They also will be recognized at the next school Honors assembly in January and at a school board meeting in the Spring of next year (2011).
We have 6 entries moving to county competition: Visual Arts primary and intermediate, Photography primary and intermediate, Literature intermediate and Film Production primary. First place entries for county will move up to Regional.
