Reflections Awards 2020-2021

This year, we had a total of 108 submissions (Dance-4, Music-7, Film Production-11, Photography-15, Literature-21, Visual Arts-50)!! That's just amazing!!

All the participants get an award - just going through the process, thinking through the theme, coming up with wonderful ideas, and submitting them makes them all winners in our eyes.

However, our judges selected the top 2 pieces/grade category to move forward to the next level (Fremont Council)- They are presented with the 'Award of Excellence'. From there on, if they qualify they move on to district (Peralta), state (CA), and hopefully National. We will keep you posted on when and if our Gomes' kids artwork moves forward further. Here are the award categories:

  • Award of Excellence: Pieces that were forwarded to the next level

  • Exceptional Artist: Pieces that were in contention to move forward

  • Award of Merit: Pieces that displayed very good ideas and work

Please join us in giving applause and congratulations to all our Gomes students listed below.
