Guests at Lake Washington PTSA Council’s annual Founders’ Day Luncheon enjoyed a feast of inspirational art created by talented students who participated in this year’s PTA Reflections art program, at McMenamins on Thursday, Feb. 26. 2026.
Each year LWPTSA Council invites local student artists who have participated in the National PTA Reflections arts program to present their contest entries to luncheon attendees. This year, Reflections entrants were tasked with interpreting the theme, “I belong.” Our 2026 Founders’ Day showcase featured two live performances and three video. A gallery of visual arts and literature pieces was also on display.
