Every child has a voice through the arts, so tell your kids to let us know what they're thinking by entering this year's Reflection Program. Have your children create an original piece of art that incorporates/interprets this year's theme:

 "Wow!..."

Students may enter in any of the following categories: photography, visual arts, literature, musical composition, dance choreography or film/video.  Deadline for entries is November 10th.  More information will be available soon.

The National PTA Reflections Program is an arts recognition and achievement program.  Students in preschool through grade 12 participate in the arts areas of literature, musical composition, dance choreography, film/video, photography, and visual arts. Age divisions are preschool through grade 2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12. The Reflections Program provides a venue for students to create and be recognized for original works of art based on a pre-selected theme, while increasing community awareness on the importance of the arts in education. For the last 37 years 10 million students have participated in the program and it's longevity and participation figures attest to its strength.

The goal of the Reflections Program is for students to participate. Although the program follows a "contest" format, winning is not the emphasis. The Reflections Program can give children who have never tried creating a work of art a chance to experiment and feel good about their work and themselves.  Every child that signs up for the program is a winner.

Just for participating, the children get an entry gift and join us for our Reflections party later in the year. As acknowledgment of their hard work, all entries receive participation ribbons and our winners get medals. First the children compete at Sparks Elementary, winners then go on to county, and those winners then go onto state competition.
