Reflections 2007-2008:  "I Can Make a Difference By..."
 
PTA believes all that children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to submit works of art in four areas:
  • Literature
  • Musical Composition
  • Photography
  • Visual Arts (which includes art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage).
  • Video/Film
  • Dance/Choreography

In its more than 30-year history, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. The Reflections Program was started in 1969 by then Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.

Each year, the Reflections Program challenges students to create art that relates to a specific theme. Themes are selected from thousands of ideas submitted by students to PTA's Reflections Program Theme Search. Past themes have included "A Different Kind of Hero", "If I Could Give the World A Gift", "Imagine That", and "Exploring New Beginnings".  The theme for this year is "I Can Make a Difference By..."

Students may participate in the Reflections Program by entering as many categories as many times as they want.  Entries maybe submitted to any teacher or to the office.  Deadline for submissions are November 30th, 2007.

Cash awards will be given for winning entries.
