Each year, the Reflections Program challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. The Reflections program is an opportunity for students to explore and learn about various art forms. It is a National PTA program and this year’s theme was “Together we can…” The Reflections Program is structured for PTAs to recognize students at the local, council, district, state, and national levels.
Entries are first judged at the local level (Dana Hills), where selected works are chosen to represent the PTA at each subsequent level-council, district, or state. Once entries reach the state level, the state PTA may select entries to submit to the National PTA. Awards of Excellence and Awards of Merit are recognized at the annual National PTA Convention and are displayed as a part of the program’s traveling exhibit.
Thank you to all of the participants of the Dana Hills PTSA Reflections program! All of the entries were outstanding!
