Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts!
All rules for participation can be seen HERE. This year's theme is: I BELONG!
All Teravista classrooms with at least 10 entries by October 1st will earn their class a popcorn party accompanied with their teachers favorite beverage!
Grand Prizes will be for the classes with the most entries. One class per grade level, with the most entries, will win an extra recess! Let's show what Teravista Tigers can do!
All entries due by October 31st. A box is in the front office for all entries to be placed in.

Students who have a mentor can...

Getting together with your mentee

Mentoring generally occurs during the student’s lunch.
Build a relationship by sharing your interests, experiences, and guidance. Support student growth and personal goals. Celebrate their success!
Wondering what to get your student's teacher or staff member throughout the school year?
I’ve tried a few different types of cat litter box over the years, and honestly, it makes a huge difference depending on your cat’s habits and your cleaning routine. Covered boxes help control odor, but some cats don’t like the enclosed space. I personally switched to an open-top cat litter box with high sides to prevent scattering, and it’s been much easier to clean. Also, using clumping litter and scooping daily keeps things fresh. If you’re dealing with odor issues, try adding a carbon filter or switching to a natural litter like pine or walnut.
