TRANSCRIPT
SSE is a No Place for Hate ® Campus!
Sycamore Springs Elementary is proud to be designated as a No Place for Hate® (NP4H8)
campus by the Anti-Defamation League. Standing up to bullies and against bigotry is never
easy – particularly for young people. This is why ADL’s No Place for Hate® initiative empowers
the whole school community – teachers and students, administrators and parents – to tackle
prejudice, bullying and inter-group conflict. The No Place for Hate® initiative provides
educators and students with the resources to ensure that anti-bias and diversity education are
an integral part of the school curriculum.

student success and serve as a valuable tool for building strong
partnerships in your school community. Celebrate arts learning
in your school community with Reflections.
National PTA Reflections® 2018-2019 Theme: “Heroes Around Me” This handout is a brief introduction to the Reflections program. For more information please go to:
https://www.txpta.org/reflections
Grade Divisions: Students may enter the Reflections® program in the appropriate division for their grade.

• Student Entry Process: The student entry form must be complete with signatures and all contact information requested. Local PTA
Reflections chair information must be entered where requested.

to the theme, and the content of the work. The statement must include 10-100 words.
• Each entry must be the original work of one student only. An adult may not alter the creative integrity of a student’s work.
Because the program is designed to encourage and recognize each student’s individual creativity, help from an adult or collaboration
with other students is not allowed except in the Special Artist Division. Other individuals may appear in or perform a student’s work,
but the work itself must be the creative product of one student only. Only one student may be recognized as the award recipient for
each entry. See the specific arts category rules and special artist division rules for details.
