Welcome

Welcome to the gallery of the Spring Creek PTA Reflections entries!

2014 theme: "The World Would Be a Better Place If . . ."

Entries were judged on Interpretation of the Theme, Artistic Merit, and Mastery of the Medium, following these National PTA guidelines: "Mastery of the medium refers to the level of skill the student demonstrates in the basic principles and techniques of the arts area. However, a well-developed concept is more important than technique. Entries should be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme." Blind judging was conducted, meaning that judges did not see the artists' names, but received the entry, title, and artist statement.

Sincere thanks to our judges, who willingly contributed their professional expertise and gave careful, thoughtful consideration to each entry.

Kali Richards - Simple Beauty

My work relates to the theme along the line of reasoning that if people could learn to appreciate the simple beauty in life, life would be better than everybody aspiring to be the richest, prettiest, most popular person.

Carter Wrigley - We "Can" Recycle

Spring Creek Award Winner - 2014


The world would be a better place if everyone recycled.  I think people could do a little better to make a big change.  I’ve seen kids at my school litter and not care about recycling.  I think everyone needs to learn more about recycling so they can know how good it is for our planet.

Spring Creek Award Winner - 2014


Global warming is important because our planet is the only planet that can support life.  You hear about people wanting to civilize on the moon?  That is because the Earth is in trouble.  We need to protect it.

The world would be a better place if people took time every day to connect with nature.  My poem shows my feelings when I am outside and can leave my fears and burdens behind me.  If everyone did this, everyone would be less angry and more kind.

I think the world would be a better place if people looked for the good, the positive things in everyday life.  “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”  There will be hard times (storms) but we can learn to smile through those hard times.
