Kraemer winners were awarded with gift cards, ribbons and certificates. These students' entries have been sent to the next level of judging, which is the council level. This means that their entries will be judged along with all other middle school entries in the Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District. Good luck to all these Kraemer students! We would like to encourage everyone to participate in Reflections next year. The theme for 2012-13 is "The Magic of a Moment..." Reflections is a National PTA program with participants at the K-12 levels. A special thanks goes to Kraemer Art teacher, Mrs. Blank for encouraging Kraemer students to participate, and for coordinating the collection of students entries. Also, thank you to the following local businesses who volunteered their time to judge our reflections entries: The Art Place in placentia, and The Music Lab in Yorba Linda. A big thank you goes to The Art Place for generously donating certificates for one month of free art classes to each of our visual arts winners!
