2011-2012 PTA Reflections Program Theme: "Diversity Means . . . "

The PTA Reflections Program is designed to enhance a quality arts education by providing an opportunity for students to explore their artistic talents and receive positive recognition for their efforts. Students participate in the Reflections Program by submitting entries to their schools’ local PTA or PTSA. In Virginia and nationally, the program has six arts areas—dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and visual arts—and four grade divisions—primary, intermediate, middle/junior, and senior.

Local Unit Focus:

• To sponsor and establish a Reflections Program for children following state and national guidelines.
• To promote and encourage knowledge of and involvement in the arts for their locales through parent and community involvement.
• To work with other PTAs to encourage continuous funding for arts programs in the public school board's yearly budgets.
