2023-24 Reflections Program

The theme for 2023-2024 is “I am hopeful because…”
Students in Pre-K through grade 12, and a special artist division are invited to create theme-based artwork in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography or visual arts. This competition encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves by providing positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Since it was founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, millions of students have benefited from this program.

Volunteers Needed for 2023-24

The PTA is looking for volunteers for the 2023-2024 school year. We have several openings and desperately need individuals to help make next year as much of a success as this year.
Current volunteer opportunities that are top priority for the PTA are as follows:

Membership - Chairperson registers PTA members, collects dues and keeps records of membership in order to pay county and state PTA dues. 

Girls On The Run (GOTR) and Girls On Track (GOT) - Chair(s) coordinate and run the after-school character building and fitness program using the GOTR curriculum. Reserve fields & indoor space for practices, attend GOTR trainings, attend and run practices (2x/week), communicate with parents, attend the 5K, plan end of season party. Fall and/or spring classes are offered.

The lack of volunteers this year has added tremendous pressure on the few individuals who have given time and resources to support our school. Without additional volunteers from the community, the PTA will not be able to continue sponsoring most of the events held this year. All interested individuals should contact president@orangehuntpta.org for further information regarding positions. Planning for the 2023-2024 school year is currently underway and the PTA is excited to sponsor many more fun activities and events for our students and staff!
