What is Reflections?
Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning.
Every year, students are presented with a new theme. Submissions can be in the form of art work, writing, poetry, any form of artistic expression. Participation is optional, however we encourage all students to participate!
