The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to submit works of art in six arts areas:

Each year, the National PTA Reflections Program challenges students to create art inspired by a specific theme. Themes are selected from hundreds of ideas submitted by students in the PTA Reflections Program Theme Search Contest. Past themes have included "Exploring New Beginnings," "If I Could Give the World a Gift...," "A Different Kind of Hero," “I Can Make a Difference by…” and “Wow!” and "Together we can." The 2011-2012 theme is "Diversity Means..."

Annually, hundreds of thousands of students participate in the Reflections program through their local PTAs. We had over 40 participate in last years event. Many of these went to judging at the county level and 4 of those were judged at the state level. We are very Proud of our talented students.
