PTA REFLECTIONS ART PROGRAM

2020-21 PROGRAM COMPLETE

This program has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969. And California State PTA and its members, families and kids are on the forefront of this amazing program, which increases community awareness of the importance of arts in education.

Reflections encourages students of all ages to:

  • Unleash creative talents and be inspired

  • Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork

  • Experience the fun and joy of making art

  • Tap into critical-thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme

  • Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.

All students attending PTA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six areas:

  • Dance Choreography

  • Literature

  • Photography

  • Film Production

  • Music Composition

  • Visual Arts

You matter because you are a Greentree SOARing Eagle and you are loved by your teachers and amazing staff. Each of you is unique and special. We are lucky to have you in this wonderful school community.  During the PTA Reflections art contest, students wrote, danced, and illustrated what “I Matter Because” meant to them. These students created outstanding artwork and expressed why they matter and why others matter around them. Congratulations to all of our artists! 

 

Some of the standout pieces include:  

Rima Patel in first grade in Visual Arts titled "My Mom Matters"
