The Reflections Program

The National PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts program: Reflections.  The Reflections Program offers students the opportunity to create a work of art for fun and recognition.  Students in Preschool through Grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in the following areas:
Literature
Musical Composition
Photography
Visual Arts (to include art forms such as drawing, painting, print making and collage.)
Film/Video
Dance

Reflections submissions are due in November.  Winning entries are selected by a panel of judges, and these entries are forwarded to the NH PTA for the state competition.   Winning entries then continue on to the national level.

TV Turn Down Month

The National PTA encourages parents to take an active role in dealing with television violence and its impact on our children, but also recognizes that television can educate, inspire and entertain.  Parents are encouraged to develop "critical viewing skills" by limiting hours of TV watching, choosing programs carefully and encouraging TV as a tool for learning.  For one week in April, children at HCS are encouraged to avoid TV in what is known as TV Turn Off Week.

Earth Week

In 1990, the National PTA recognized the importance of the environment to the health and safety of our children and designated one week in April as Earth Week.  During this week, PTA members across the country focus their attention on the environment and plant seeds of change so that environmental awareness and concern grow from a once-a-year activity to a year-round attitude.

Staff Appreciation Week

Another favorite!  Staff Appreciation Week occurs in May.  The Hampstead PTA uses this week as an opportunity to plan events that focus attention on the outstanding work of our public school staff members (and bus drivers!).  Their dedication and expertise form the cornerstone of Hampstead's outstanding educational system.
