Reflections

Reflections Chair | WV PTA

What is Reflections?

The National PTA Reflections Program is a long-standing arts recognition initiative that celebrates student creativity and expression. Open to all grades, the program encourages students to explore the arts and create original works inspired by a pre-selected theme.

This year’s theme is “I Belong”: a powerful prompt that invites students to reflect on identity, community, and connection through the arts.

Students can submit entries in the following categories:

Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.

While the program follows a contest format, the true goal is participation, creativity, and personal growth. Reflections is about giving students a platform to express themselves, explore different art forms, and engage in a meaningful creative process — not just about winning awards.

Participating in Reflections helps students build confidence, strengthen critical thinking, and connect their artistic talents to a larger theme and purpose.

We can’t wait to see what our Wildcat artists create!
