CREATE AN ORIGINAL ARTISTIC PIECE THAT REFLECTS ON THIS YEAR’S THEME:

WHAT MY CULTURE MEANS TO ME

The PTA Reflections program is a nationally acclaimed student recognition program that encourages artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the 2026-2027 theme: What My Culture Means To Me

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

Students may choose to submit an entry in one or all of the available arts categories:

Dance Choreography

Film Production

Literature

Music Composition

Photography

Visual Arts
