This year, our program received an exceptional response from our Chameleon community, with 50 submissions. To celebrate our students' dedication and creativity, the PTA will be showcasing their original art pieces in "the Art Reflections Hall of Fame" in the main hallway of our school and in the Cary News program. Thank you to all our participants!
Congratulations to our winners!

Calling all Chameleons to express their creativity! We can’t wait to celebrate your creativity! All our participating Chameleons will be recognized at school. We will have goody bags and their names will be displayed in the “Art Reflection Hall of Fame” in the main hallway.

It offers students opportunities to express themselves creatively in six different categories and to receive positive recognition for original works of art inspired by a preselected theme.
