2014-2015 Reflections
“The world would be a better place if…”
What is PTA Reflections?
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 Grades Pre-K through 12 are recognized for bringing the theme to life through dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts.
Student Eligibility: Students must participate in the National PTA Reflections® Program through a local PTA/PTSA in good standing.
There are six categories:
- Dance
- Film
- Literature
- Music Composition
- Photography
- Visual Art
Grade Divisions: This year there is a NEW Special Artist grade division. See flyer and website for details. Students may enter the National PTA Reflections® Program in the appropriate division for their grade.
The divisions are as follows:
- Primary: preschool – grade 2
- Intermediate: grades 3 – 5
- Middle School: grades 6 – 8

Student Entry Process: Students enter the National PTA Reflections® Program at local levels. Program dates, deadlines, and local procedures are determined at State and Local levels.
