The Reflections Program, sponsored by the National PTA, is an arts recognition and achievement program for students. It provides opportunities for students to express themselves creatively and to receive positive recognition for original works of art inspired by pre-selected theme, while increasing community awareness on the importance of the arts in education. Kindergarten through 12th grade students are invited to submit entries in visual arts, photography, literature or musical composition. This year’s theme was “I wonder why?”
