Do you express your creativity through dance, music, story, or poetry? Do you dream of seeing your drawings displayed in a special exhibit? Do you enjoy taking photographs or videotaping your friends? If you answered yes then the Reflections Program is perfect for you.

Reflections is a very popular and successful cultural arts program designed to enhance quality arts education for students in preschool through grade 12. For nearly 40 years, the Reflections Program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. Reflections provides students with an opportunity to express themselves creatively while receiving positive recognition on a school, community, state, and possibly national level. Any student who attends a school with a PTA/PTSA in good standing may participate in the Reflections program. Originality and keeping the Theme: Beauty is… in mind are very important.
