Have you been looking for a good excuse to show off your skills? Here's your chance! This year's Reflections theme is “Heroes Around Us”. What is a real hero, according to you? Who in your life stands out in your mind when you hear
the word, “hero”? How would you share your thoughts with us using the media above?

Entry forms and instructions can be printed from the PTSA section of RBV's website (https://rbvptsa.org/), or obtained in Room 338 (Mr. Disney), and must be included with each piece of artwork to the marked box in Room 338 by October 3rd.
