Dear Student,

You are invited to participate in this year’s Reflections program. The theme for this year is, “Together
we can…” Reflections is a cultural arts program sponsored by the National PTA. The primary goal of
Reflections is to encourage students to express themselves creatively through the arts.
Students may submit works of art in any of the following categories: Music, Literature, Visual Arts,
Photography, Dance Choreography, and Film/Video Production. All entries must be original and the
work of only one student. (No group work or parent assistance please.) Be certain to consult the official
rules before you begin your Reflections project. You may a locate the Reflections packet with rules at
http://www.nyspta.org/ under the heading “programs/awards”. A completed Reflections application must be
attached to your entry. All entries are due by Friday, October 22nd. Please deposit your entry in the
Reflections box located in the Main Office. Winning entries will be forwarded to the Suffolk County
Reflections committee for further judging.

If you have any additional questions regarding Reflections, please feel free to contact me at 366-2663 or
via email: debbiemahoney@optonline.net

All Smithtown High School West students are eligible to participate in the Reflections program this year.

Best of luck to you!

Sincerely,

Debbie Mahoney

PTSA Reflections Chairperson

Wednesday October 6 the United States Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants will be here to give a concert. We will be holding workshops throughout the day that will give you the opportunity to work with them.

If you attend the concert, please bring me a program or ticket stub so you can receive extra credit!

-Mrs. Christy

Lesson Schedule

Here is the lesson schedule for the first concert.

As I said in class, this is a rotational lesson schedule that all of your teachers will have. You miss the class on the rotation once a month. Each week you should attend one lesson with your assigned lesson group. This year I will be teaching lessons during periods 2,4,7 & 8.

If your lesson falls on a day when you have a test in your class, take the test and makeup the lesson!! Even if we have a day off of school, I should see you in a lesson that week.

If you have any questions, let me know! The schedule and lesson groups are now up!
