Reflections Finalists

Discovery PTSA is a proud supporter of Reflections - a nationwide arts recognition program for students. 

Devaansh A. in Ms. Peterson's kindergarten class and Dhruva U. in Ms. Somnis' 4th grade class both qualified with entries in the literature category to the Washington state level. 
 
We are proud of all our Discovery students who submitted art and literature for Reflections this year. Please enjoy the Reflections art display in the main hallway at Discovery now through 5/1/24. Join us for a Reflections recognition at Family STEAM Night on Wednesday, 5/1/24. View this year's art submissions here.

We express our gratitude and appreciation to Sandhya Deepak, our Reflections parent volunteer, for her time, dedication and organization to provide this program for our Discovery students. Without her, Discovery would not have been able to participate in this great art program.
