The National PTA sponsors a program called Reflections that is for students in all grades and of all abilities to be involved in the arts.

 Annually, thousands of students will reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography and Visual Arts. This year the theme was: "The World Would Be a Better Place If....." 

Mr. Anson’s 9th grade Honors English students had a tough time choosing winners from all the terrifyingly terrific submissions to this year's Zombie Haiku Contest.  Hundreds of poems were submitted by both students and teachers.  This year’s contest even featured poems written by Mr. Moss’s intermediate and advanced Spanish students--in Español. 

The judging is over and here are the winners

Dusting off the brains
Mopping up the crimson blood
A zombie mom’s “dream”

Let’s be honest—winning is fun.  But on October 14th, the Lady Lobo Cross Country team showed they know there is something more important than winning.
