Reflections Art contest is now open!

  This year’s theme is Accepting Imperfections.   Submissions are due November 8th.  You can see the complete rules and entry form here:

https://www.txpta.org/REFLECTIONS

Mrs. Bonner and Mrs. Cole will have more information as well.  

Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

With positive recognition as the focus of this program, rather than competition, students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression and help in finding their own voice in telling their unique story.

Started in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, then Colorado PTA President, Reflections has grown to be one of the largest nationwide programs of its kind, with more than 200,000 students participating annually.

Visit our 2023-2024 Reflections Gallery to see examples of entries that were awarded by Texas PTA in past years. And see last year's State and National results.

Express your artistic talent and tell us how you plan to show your voice through Reflections!
