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.
Each year, Reflections challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. Themes are selected from thousands of ideas submitted by students to National PTA's Reflections Theme Search.
Young artists get involved in Reflections through their local PTA or PTSA. A student may submit an entry in any of six arts areas. Only original works of art are accepted. The six art areas are: Visual Arts, Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film Production.
Your Reflections Chairs this year are: Dawnie Campbell & Darren Campbell

Congratulations Reflections Awards of Excellence winners (entries will move on to state competition)
announcement regarding wspta reflections ceremony
Students whose art entries "place" at State (meaning receive the WSPTA Outstanding Interpretation, WSPTA Award of Excellence, WSPTA Award of Merit) will be invited to the WSPTA Reflections Awards Program. Traditionally this is held on the same weekend as the WSPTA Annual Convention. This year, since Convention is in Yakima; the Reflections Awards will be held separately in the greater Seattle Area in late April or early May. Date and Location to be determined. Those who qualify will be notified by WSPTA. **note, this does not include ALL entries Council sends to state, only the ones which "place" at state after WSPTA judging takes place.

The entries which Council will be sending forward to the State Competition will be announced this evening. This evening is also Tacoma's 4th Thursday Art Walk Event.
