Last Call for Entries for the Reflections Arts Contest!

Tomorrow, October 12th, is the deadline for entries in the Reflections Arts Contest, a National PTA Program we participate in at Louise Archer. Students can submit works in literature, music composition, dance choreography, photography, visual arts, and film production. All Louise Archer students are encouraged to participate!

The 2023 theme, I am hopeful because…, calls for your own unique interpretation through the arts. This year, we are following the format that was used the last few years with digital submissions and online entry forms. All entries should be submitted through our online submission portal by tomorrow, October 12th, to be considered for judging.

Guidelines for each category can be found on our website. Please note that the physical guidelines no longer apply, as all projects must be digitally submitted, so Visual Arts entries must be photographed for entry. For inspiration, visit the Reflections virtual art gallery and learn more about prizes and scholarships. We will celebrate all Louise Archer entries and participants at a special reception on November 30th.

Full details are available on the LAES PTA Reflections website.

Get Ready for the Sock Hop

Put your dancing shoes on for the Sock Hop at Louise Archer. The event will be on Friday, November 10th. We will have food in the Cafeteria from 6-7:30pm and a DJ in the Gym from 7-8:30pm. As always our 6th graders will hop the tables and raise funds via tips for their 6th grade celebration.

Please note, chaperones are extra critical this year, as Louise Archer is currently an active construction site. Please ensure that children are not running or being overly rambunctious at your post. It is imperative that children follow schoolwide hallway expectations as they move from the cafeteria to the gym.

Please consider volunteering and/or donating needed supplies for this event to make it a success!

We greatly appreciate your help!and we can’t wait to host this fun event for students and families! Contact Molly Peng or Reshma Patel with any questions.
