Congratulations to the talented students who were honored recently at the annual district-wide Reflections ceremony. This year, the national program’s 2023 theme was ”Show Your Voice” and was sponsored by our South Huntington Council of PTAs and hosted by Walt Whitman High School. This special event allowed our parents and community members the opportunity to applaud the outstanding work of our creative children. Over 20 of this year’s participants were announced as Suffolk Region PTA Reflections Award winners, and 4 of those students advanced to receive the Award of Merit at the State level. We were fortunate to award the efforts of each student and appreciate their work on display, ranging from photography and poetry, to visual art and video submissions.
Congratulations to the following students who received an Award of Merit at the State level:
Maya Millman - (Literature, Primary Division) Countrywood
Patrick Acierno - (Photography, Special Artist Division) Birchwood
Tyler Striga - (Film Production, Middle Division) Silas Wood
Tyler Holzweiss - (Photography, Middle Division) Stimson
We congratulate all of our Reflections participants for their continued creative spark, and the dedicated parents for fostering a special love of learning in their homes. A special thanks to our PTA representatives for making this wonderful event possible year after year!
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see our students work, they will be on display in the lower level lobby of the South Huntington Library throughout the month of April!
