Reflections is a national PTA arts recognition program that encourages students to express their artistic talents. Based on the 2024-2024 theme “Accepting Imperfections” fifteen Luther Jackson students submitted their artwork in three categories. Their work has been evaluated by community artists and professionals on their interpretation of theme, creativity and technique.
For each art form, the work chosen as Outstanding Interpretation will advance to the Fairfax County Council PTA level, competing with entries from other Fairfax County middle school students. Award of Excellence, Award of Merit and Honorable Mention are given to second, third and fourth place. Here are the 2024-2025 Luther Jackson (School Level) results.
