Reflections
The
National PTA Reflections Program is designed to enhance quality arts
education for students in preschool through grade 12, encouraging them
to create works of art in the areas of dance choreography, film
production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the
visual arts for recognition. Any PTA/PTSA in good standing is eligible
to sponsor a Reflections Program. Forms, rules and materials necessary
for entering the Reflections Program can be found below.
Reflections Theme Search
National PTA is looking for the 2013-2014 Reflections Program Theme.
Each year, students create works of art inspired by a specific theme. The theme is selected from hundreds of ideas submitted by students to the PTA Reflections Program Theme Search Contest. Students’ shaping the direction for each Reflections Program year is one of National PTAs greatest points of pride.

Reflections Program
2011-2012
Theme: “Diversity Means…”
National PTA establishes the Reflections rules by which a student enters their artwork through a local PTA. New York State PTA recognizes a statewide Special Education category. New York State recognized Special Education students entering this category should indicate the grade division which best reflects their developmental ability as indicated by the parent on the Student Entry form.
New York State students participating in Reflections have the opportunity for their artwork to be juried, progressing through four levels of PTA: the Local PTA/PTSA level, the Region PTA level, the State PTA level and the National PTA level.
