Reflections Art Contest

10/16/2024 9:27 am

 

This Year's Reflections Theme is “"Accepting Imperfections"

Let’s encourage our young artists to share their hopes and dreams, expressing the things to which they most look forward.

 

Reflections is not “just an art contest.” It helps kids take risks, be inspired, think creatively, and be celebrated for their creativity and work. Working towards a theme and on a timeline can help them build successful processes that will be useful throughout their lives.
 
 Reflections Artwork Categories

The National Reflections program welcomes all grades and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. Students submit their completed works of art in one or more of the available arts categories:

  • Dance Choreography
  • Film Production
  • Literature
  • Music Composition
  • Photography
  • Visual Arts*

The deadline to submit works of art is Monday, November 4, 2024 at 10:00pm. All submissions must be original works of art.

 

More details coming soon!

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Andrew Wilson, Committee Chair Reflections Program, at reflections@peterkirkptsa.org.

 

*Peter Kirk PTSA’s Reflections program is not accepting 3D artwork at this time. 3D art includes sculptures, dioramas, architecture, 3D printing, etc.

Hey everyone! Let's make this year's yearbook the best one yet! We're on the hunt for awesome photos from the Fun Run—those action shots, smiling faces, even some hilarious photos of runners getting soaked in the rain! 💦

 

But wait, there's more! Do you have any amazing pics from other school events this year or even from the end of last year? Share the memories! You'll find easy-to-use dropbox folders for each event on the yearbook website.

 

With your help, this yearbook will be amazing!

Math Challenge #3 is Here!

10/11/2024 9:25 am

Calling all Peter Kirk mathletes! Challenge #3 is here and due by October 24, giving you another chance to put your math skills to the test. Challenge #2 was due last week, but it's never too late to join the fun! Feel free to submit answers to Challenge #1 and #2 by October 24, if you want to really have fun with math or really put those math skills to use. 

 

Whether you aced the first two challenges or are just jumping in, everyone's welcome. Tackle one problem or all 18 – it's all about having fun and flexing those math muscles!

 

Remember, it's FREE and no sign-up is needed. Grab the challenge from our website, conquer those problems, and email your solutions to math@peterkirkptsa.org.

 

Did you know? Amazing prizes await those who conquer the Math Challenge!

  • Complete 10 challenges? Receive a special certificate and a small prize at the end of the school year.

  • Conquer all 15 challenges? You'll also receive a certificate and a prize as a reward for your incredible dedication to math!

Let's show those numbers who's boss!

 

Tips for Parents:

  • Make it a family affair! Working on the challenges together can be a fun and rewarding experience.

  • Encourage a growth mindset: Help your child see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.

  • Celebrate effort: Praise your child for their hard work and persistence, regardless of the outcome.

Use the challenges as a springboard for further exploration: If your child is interested in a particular topic, encourage them to delve deeper with books, online resources, or hands-on activities.

WE DID IT! $76,000!

10/4/2024 3:03 pm

This morning, Peter Kirk students and teachers ran not just for fun, but also to celebrate hitting our $76,000 goal! We could not have achieved this milestone without the power of our generous families, faculty, and business sponsors. We are so proud to be part of the Peter Kirk community!

 

THANK YOU to the 250+ families that donated to our cause! And congratulations to Ms. Clasen's, Ms. Glickert's, and Ms. Matrecano's classes who won the participation competition and will have the honor of silly stringing Mr. Chad later this month! Please remember to submit your donations if you have company matching as we account for these separately.

 

THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered to make it such a special event, especially our Eagle Joe Dobner! Thank you Mr. Chad for being such a great sport for our class competition. Thank you Goldfish Swim Academy and Kate Savitch Design for sponsoring the event. And as always, thanks to our wonderful Principal, Monica Garcia, for supporting our fundraising and this event each and every year.

 

THANK YOU to our 2024-25 business sponsors for their generous support for the school year - Kate Savitch Design, Goldfish Swim Academy, Columbia Athletic Club, Juanita Kids Dentistry, Lake Washington Medical Aesthetics, Babies of the Homelessness, Sprout and Smile, and Emerald City Orthodontics.
