Reflections Art Program
“What my culture means to me”
It's time for your students to express themselves! Encourage your child to explore the arts, and express his/herself in the process! Submit original artwork to the office by Monday, Sept. 22. For more information, visit http://www.pta.org/Reflections. Each student who participates will be recognized with a certificate award at a special Evening of the Arts in the MPR.
Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
Unleash creative talents and be inspired
Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
Experience the fun and joy of making art
Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.
PARTICIPATION IS EASY, EXCITING AND EMPOWERING
Artworks are submitted first to school-level PTAs, where they are first recognized, celebrated and judged by five grade-level divisions, the Special Artists division celebrates student artists with special needs. School PTAs then choose a selection of entries to be judged by local PTA units, which are then sent on to councils and then districts for consideration. The final artworks submitted to California State PTA by districts are then considered for Outstanding Interpretation, Awards of Excellence or Awards of Merit. Outstanding Interpretation and Award of Excellence entries then go on to represent California in the final National PTA judging round.
All students attending PTA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six areas:
Dance Choreography
Literature
Photography
Film Production
Music Composition
Visual Arts
The 2026-2027 Reflections is “What My Culture Mean’s to Me”
