Reflections Arts Program
Encourage creativity and lifelong learning while offering recognition for artistic endeavors. The National PTA Reflections program is designed to enhance quality arts education for students in preschool through grade 12.
This program allows students to submit various forms of art such as Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts for judging starting at the local level. 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 Reflections winners are announced in May and celebrated throughout the following year, starting at National PTA’s Convention in June.
2024-25 Reflections Theme: Accepting Imperfection
The theme is “Accepting Imperfections” with categories including visual arts, music, dance, photography, literary and any form of art you can submit digitally.
More details coming soon! Get started now as the final date for submissions is Friday, Oct 18th 11:59pm. Questions? Contact Reflections Chair Dr. Acquilla McCoy at acquillamccoy@gmail.com.

2023-2024 Reflections Winners:
We are excited to announce the winners for Reflections of Art 2023-24 for our Jaguar family.
This year we had two students to represent our school at the State level which are Freshman, Savon McCoy for Photography and Junior Saraahi Shroff for Visuals Arts. Both students created pieces based this year’s theme, ” I Am Hopeful because…”
They captured the essence of celebrating life to depict the beauty of existing in harmony. We applaud them both for leading the competition as our 1st place winners at the school level.
*****To honor their efforts and celebrate their school win, we recognized them at our January 30th PTSA meeting.
