The National PTA Reflections program is PTA’s cornerstone arts program offering students the opportunity to earn local, state and even national recognition for original artwork they create in response to a specific theme. This program is based on the belief that the arts play a critical role in students’ success in school and beyond, enhancing their reading and language skills, mathematics skills, thinking
skills, social skills, motivation to learn and positive school environment.
The Reflections program provides youth with an opportunity to express their creative abilities by interpreting each year’s theme through six categories.
