For over 50 years, National PTA’s Reflections program has inspired students to unleash their creativity and share their unique voices through the arts. This long-standing program encourages students to explore their thoughts, feelings, and ideas while building confidence, developing artistic skills, and discovering a lifelong love of learning. Reflections celebrates creativity and gives every student a chance to shine—both in the arts and beyond.
Each year, thousands of students from pre-K through 12th grade create original works inspired by a student-selected theme. Students can participate in one or more arts categories and are recognized within divisions based on grade level and, when applicable, individual support needs—making Reflections an inclusive program for all.
✨ The 2026–2027 Theme: “What My Culture Means to Me” ✨
🎨 Categories: Visual Arts, Photography, Dance Choreography, Music Composition, Film Production, and Literature (Storytelling)
