REFLECTIONS COMMITTEE: Congratulations to these students whose Reflections projects advanced to the Northwest Cook Region. The Arlington Heights Council received 137 projects. While they couldn’t advance all the projects, the students did a wonderful job telling their stories and what is important to them. They should all be proud of their work! Projects selected to advance to the next level will be notified by Claudine Mele.
A Reflections Celebration will be held at Ivy Hill on January 31, 2017, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. ALL participants’ artwork will be set up around the commons, and light refreshments will be served. Each student will receive a Certificate of Participation from the Council. Artwork can be taken home after the reception. This reception is for all who submitted a project, not just the students who advanced.
