REFLECTIONS ARTWORK

This year, Cedar Park students had a chance to participate in Reflections. This is a national PTA program that allows children to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas on a specific topic through words, pictures, music, photography, choreography, and other art forms.  The artwork is judged and recognized at the school level, at the State level, and at the national level.  The topic this year was "Beauty is...".  We had 10 submissions, two of which were submitted to the Minnesota State PTA Office for judging.   Each student who participated has received/will receive a certificate of achievement.  Please congratulate each student for their wonderful interpretation of "Beauty is...." If you'd like to see a full size picture of the artwork, please click here.

Produced By:

STEM

A Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) magnet is designed for students who enjoy challenges and investigating the world around them. A child’s innate ability to explore, experiment, problem solve, and invent is at the heart of Cedar Park’s STEM studies. Instead of teaching science, technology, engineering and math classes in isolation, Cedar Park STEM links the students’ learning opportunities by using an inter-disciplinary approach as much as possible. Our hands-on learning helps students make the connections between academic concepts and real life. The school’s instructional practices value diverse learning styles, provide rich experiences for all learners, and nurture self-esteem and life-long learning.
