PTSA Reflections

Picture
Reflections is a National PTA program in which students can express themselves in several artistic areas.  Started in Colorado in 1969, Reflections has encouraged millions of students to express themselves by giving positive recognition for their artistic efforts.  Students in preschool through 12th grade may create and submit works of art in six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and visual arts.  The 2020-21 theme is "I Matter Because...". 

Students may enter any or all of the categories, and multiple entries within a single category is permitted.  Each entry must be the original work of one student and created specifically for the Reflections program based on the theme.

Johnson PTSA recognizes every student who submits an entry! Entries from all grades and abilities are welcome. There is no limit to the number of entries in a single category.

Rules:
  1. Complete rules and forms are found online at: https://www.txpta.org/reflections-participation​.
  2. The student or one person from their household must be a current member of the Johnson PTSA.
  3. All entries must include a title and an artist statement. The artist statement communicates what inspired the work, how it relates to the theme, and the content of the work.

Submit entries to the drop box in the library beginning September 30th, 2020. Entries are due Monday, October 26th, 2020 at noon.
