Reflections

The National PTA Reflections program welcomes students of all grades and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. Annually, thousands of students reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts.

The Reflections Theme for 2023-24

Deadlines for entries vary by unit. Check your school's PTA website for more information.
