Pine Tree students recognized in Reflections Program

Monroe — A number of Pine Tree students’ pieces were singled out for recognition in this year’s Reflection Program. Pieces by Sarah Dworgan and Eileen Wang are advancing to state competition.

Creating art is a valuable learning process that challenges students to use their critical thinking skills as well as their creative talents to create art that supports a specific theme. Students submit entries in any of six arts areas: literature, musical composition, photography, visual arts, dance choreography and film-video production.
