The National Reflections Program

The National PTA Reflections program is PTA’s cornerstone arts program.

It was developed in 1969 by Colorado’s PTA President Mary Lou Anderson to encourage students to explore their talents and express themselves. Since then, the Reflections program has inspired millions of students to reflect on a specific theme and create original artwork.

Each year, students in Pre-K through grade 12 are recognized for bringing the theme to life through dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts.

2016-2017 Reflections Program Theme: What Is Your Story?

This theme was submitted through the Reflections Theme Search Contest by Brianna Eisman of Jacksonville, Florida. Students submit their artwork to local PTAs for initial judging. In Florida, local winning entries then advance to the county level before advancing to the state level. Top entries from our state PTA Reflections contest advance to National PTA for the final round of judging.
