🎨🎶👯 Participate in the PTA Reflections Competition 📝📽️📸

Does your child enjoy art, music, dance, or have a passion for writing, filmmaking, or photography?

Encourage them to unleash their creativity with the PTA Reflections competition! This year’s theme, “Accepting Imperfection,” invites students to express their own unique interpretations through the arts.

The focus of the competition is self-expression, meaning the interpretation of the theme is more important than technical artistic skill.

To participate, students can submit their entries via the online form linked here. Please note that submissions must be made from a non-Burlingame School account (a parent’s Gmail works perfectly) since the form is outside the school’s email network.

Submission deadline: Friday, November 29, 2024 at 11:00 pm (day after Thanksgiving 🦃)

For more details, contact our PTA Reflections representative, Iglika Boyanova, at reflections.mckinley@gmail.com. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore their creativity. Let’s encourage them to participate!

🎨🎶👯 Participe en el Concurso de Reflexiones de la PTA 📝📽️📸

¿A su hijo le gusta el arte, la música, la danza o le apasiona escribir, hacer películas o la fotografía?

¡Anímelos a dar rienda suelta a su creatividad con el concurso PTA Reflections! El tema de este año, “Aceptar la imperfección”, invita a los estudiantes a expresar sus propias interpretaciones únicas a través de las artes.

El foco del concurso es la autoexpresión, lo que significa que la interpretación del tema es más importante que la habilidad artística técnica.

Para participar, los estudiantes pueden enviar sus entradas a través del formulario en línea vinculado aquí. Tenga en cuenta que las presentaciones deben realizarse desde una cuenta que no sea de Burlingame School (el Gmail de un padre funciona perfectamente) ya que el formulario está fuera de la red de correo electrónico de la escuela.

Fecha límite de presentación: viernes 29 de noviembre de 2024 a las 11:00 pm (el día después del Día de Acción de Gracias 🦃)

Para obtener más detalles, comuníquese con nuestra representante de PTA Reflections, Iglika Boyanova, en reflections.mckinley@gmail.com. Esta es una oportunidad maravillosa para que los estudiantes exploren su creatividad. ¡Animémosles a participar!
