Ø Make recognition a big deal
Ø Display entries
Ø When teachers are on board support is better!
Ø Show examples/post entries when promoting so kids don’t get intimidated, just excited
Ø Have teachers allow time for kids to brainstorm and get excited about it
Ø Have ideas presented to help begin an idea
Ø Narrow down categories
Ø Parent involvement and recognize winners at an assembly/convention
Ø Display entries at a school activity
Ø Promote more!!
Ø Have teacher do it as an assignment
Ø PTA party in gym for Reflections kickoff with parents
Ø Don’t have everything due around Christmas – volunteers will be grateful if they can focus on their families during this time
Ø Earlier in the school year the better
Ø Have an in school competition as well, candy bar & $5 for those who go on to district
Ø Do something for everyone who participated (mini candy bars)
Ø Have ideas presented in person with past examples shown in the class! We like the online idea…. But for small kids or kids whose parents are less involved?
Ø Have past winners from school (if still attending) give a small presentation on their Reflections project!
Ø Start the arts combined with Reflection
Ø Promote earlier so parents can be ready
Ø Have an “Art Show” display night
Ø Teacher can encourage kids with special abilities to enter the contest
