    Hey Middle Schoolers! It's time to unleash your creativity for this year's PTA Reflections contest!
    The theme is "Accepting Imperfections," and we want to see your art, photography, video
    production, dance, music composition, and writing submissions. Submit your masterpieces and
    show us how you relate your pieces to the theme. Let's celebrate our differences together!

    The deadline to submit your entry is September 27th!

    National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.

    Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
