Reflections Program
Entry Deadline - November 17, 2021
This year the Arthur Ashe Jr PTA will have the opportunity to participate in the National PTA Reflections Program and this year marks the 50th Anniversary of the program! Reflections encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves by giving positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Since it was founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, millions of students have benefited from this program.
​
Reflections Awards Program Students in Pre-K through grade 12 create theme-based artwork in dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography or visual arts. The 2021-2022 theme, "I will change the world by...", will spark imagination and creativity in school and at home. Student winners from the local level have the opportunity to move up through their district, region, council and state PTA programs to the national level. National PTA Reflections winners are celebrated at the annual convention and student showcase.
To promote the program at Arthur Ashe Jr. ES, we will host a Reflections showcase of the artwork. Please help your child to create their artwork at home so that we may have a showcase at our school. We would like to display the artwork for teachers and parents to review and assess. We will get 4 art reviewers to judge the artwork. We will handout ribbons and awards to each grade level winner. Also, the winners will also be announced on the PTA website and newsletter for recognition.
