Each year, the National PTA Reflections Program challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. The Reflections Program is structured for PTAs to recognize students at the local, council, district, state, and national levels. Entries are first judged at the local level, where selected works are chosen to represent the PTA at each subsequent level-council, district, or state. Once entries reach the state level, the state PTA may select entries to submit to the National PTA. Awards of Excellence and Awards of Merit are recognized at the annual National PTA Convention and displayed in a virtual gallery on National PTA’s website.

Reflections Program Students can create submissions depicting projects with the current year's theme in any of the arts areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted. Students may only submit a total of two entries per category, but they can enter as many categories as they want. The six categories are as follows: Visual ArtsPhotography Literature Dance Choreography Film/Video Production Musical Composition

Participation in the Reflections Program is organized by school grade. Student works are critiqued against others in the same grade division. This allows recognition and judging of artworks by appropriate developmental age and skill levels. The four grade divisions are as follows:

Primary Preschool Grade 2 or up to age 7

Intermediate Grades 3-5 or ages 8-10

Middle/Junior Grades 6-8 or ages 11-13

Senior Grades 9-12 or ages 14+

This program runs in the fall semester, usually during November. For more information contact Lanai Reflections Program Chair.
