2010/2011 Reflections Program
Program Overview
The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA cultural arts competition. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works.
The 2010-2011 Reflections theme is: “Together We Can”
Write about it, draw it, paint it, take a picture of it, make music about it, dance to it or create a film about it and submit it for this years’ National PTA Reflections contest.
