National PTA Reflections Program
 

Each year, the National PTA Reflections Program challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. 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, 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 displayed in a virtual gallery on National PTA's website.

2008/2009 Program Theme:  "Wow!"

Students may submit an entry in any of the six arts areas listed below. Only original works of art are accepted. Depending on state and local PTA guidelines, students may enter more than one work of art. The six arts areas are as follows:

▪  Literature

▪  Musical composition

▪  Photography

▪  Visual arts

▪  Dance Choreography

▪  Film/Video Production

Participation in the Reflections Program is organized by school grade. Student works are critiqued against others in the same grade division. This allows recognition and judging of artworks by appropriate developmental age and skill levels. The four grade divisions are as follows:

▪  Primary – Preschool – Grade 2 or up to age 7

▪  Intermediate – Grades 3-5 or ages 8-10

▪  Middle/Junior – Grades 6-8 or ages 11-13

▪  Senior – Grades 9-12 or ages 14+

This program runs in the fall semester, usually during November.  For more information contact Lanai Reflections Program Coordinator Cheryl Patterson.
