PTA Reflections gives students an opportunity to express themselves creatively and to receive positive recognition for original works of art that reflect an annually selected theme.  Since 1969, the Reflections program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents by creating works of art for fun and recognition.

The 2021-22 theme is: “I will change the world by…”

Thousands of students will reflect on the theme and create original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, music composition, literature, photography and visual arts. All PTA units are encouraged to actively work with their building staff and related arts instructors to create opportunities for students to participate. To help with this process, PTA has created a Reflections toolkit to help you develop, promote and run the program in your school for the new theme.  In addition, PTA has developed a Local Leaders Guide that details all requirements and associated forms for entries.

Don’t have an active PTA/PTSA affiliate at your school? Join Delaware PTA as a VIP member and submit your group members’ or individual entries.

Don’t forget, we have a Special Artist Division for students with disabilities who receive services under IDEA or Section 504 to have the opportunity and accommodations they may need in order to participate fully in the program. The Special Artist Division offers modified rules and guidelines to ensure that every student has the chance to be part of the National PTA Reflections® program.

Students are encouraged to submit works of art in seven categories:

  • Dance Choreography
  • Literature
  • Musical Composition
  • Film Production
  • Photography
  • Visual Arts
  • Special Artists

Please review the  Reflections toolkit for details and contact Delaware PTA President-Elect Purnima Montagne with any questions
