On Friday, December 6th we had the privilege of honoring 41 of our talented Sea Lions who participated in this year’s PTA Reflections program. During a special school assembly, all winners were recognized on stage and proudly presented with trophies for their exceptional work.
For those who were not selected as winners in their categories, we celebrated their creativity and effort with recognition medals. Every participant received a Noble Bird certificate as part of the Accepting Imperfections contest, reminding us of all that embracing our unique qualities is something to be proud of.
A heartfelt thank-you to Noble Bird for their generosity and encouragement in helping us celebrate our students’ remarkable achievements.
Check out the list of honorees below and join us in applauding all of our participants for their dedication and imagination!

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 nationwide create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The 2024-2025 Reflections theme is "Accepting Imperfection."
Students of all grade levels are encouraged to submit artwork in any of the six categories:
- Literature
- Visual Arts
- Film Production
- Dance Choreography
- Music Composition
- Photography
- Accessible Arts (The Accessible Arts Division offers modified rules and guidelines for students with disabilities, who may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504, to participate in the Reflections program.)
