Each year, the National PTA Reflections program encourages students of all ages to create and submit
original works of art in the medium of their choice—dance choreography, film production, literature,
music composition, photography or visual arts—that reflect on the annual theme. Submissions are reviewed
by arts experts in the mediums, and students are recognized for their artistic technique and ingenuity
in bringing the theme to life. For over 50 years, the National PTA Reflections program has provided
opportunities for millions of students to access the arts and gain recognition, which boosts student
confidence and success in and out of the classroom. Participating in the arts also helps students express
their thoughts, feelings, ideas and emotions, which is especially important to support children’s
well being during this time in our country.
