Contests
The Tennessee PTA is supporting three student contests for the school year, 2009-2010, for 3rd-5th grade division.
All FIS student entries will be judged and each contest will be awarded with
1st, 2nd and 3rd place locally. All entries, whether FIS winners or not,
will be sent to the Knox County PTA to be judged. Winners at the county
level will be sent to the Tennessee PTA and will compete against the work
of other students at State level for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
These contests are a great way for children to use their imagination,
their artistic and literature skills, enjoy the spirit of evaluation by
a panel of competent judges and recognition for their work.
Every participant will be rewarded a participation prize no
matter the result, and each local FIS 1st, 2nd or 3rd place winner
for each contest
will receive a small trophy and a gift certificate to a local
vendor. Locally for FIS, in the Reflections Contest, all categories
will be combined
for a total 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner. However, through
the Reflections Program, any state level winner's work sent to the
national PTA level
will be considered for an Award of Excellence and/or an Outstanding
Interpretation Award. Both provide exciting national awards and prizes.
Parents, please encourage your children to participate in one
or more contest!
