Reflections is a National PTA-sponsored arts recognition program that provides a creative outlet for students in the areas of visual arts, dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, and photography. Students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression and help in finding their own voice to tell their unique story. Students may enter as many times as they like in as many categories as they like.
