REFLECTIONS

The Reflections Committee exposes Carl Sandburg students to the National PTA themed contest that encourages students in music, language arts, photography and fine arts.

National PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program.

The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition.

Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in four areas:

Literature,
Musical composition
Photography
Visual arts (drawing, painting, print making, and collage).

Each year, the Reflections Program challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme.

2007–2008 Theme: "WOW"

The Reflections Program is structured for PTAs to recognize students at the local, council, district, state, and national levels. Entries are first judged at the local level, where selected works, are chosen to represent the PTA at each subsequent level—council, district, or state—depending on each state PTA's structure. Once entries reach the state level, the state PTA may select entries to submit to the National PTA.
