For 40 years, the national PTA Reflections Program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. The PTA Reflections Program is designed to enhance quality arts education for students in preschool through grade 12, encouraging them to create works of art in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts. Supporting the PTA Reflections Program is one way you can encourage children’s creativity, increase student achievement, and promote the arts in your home, your school, and your community
 
More than half a million students participate in the Reflections Program through their local PTAs each year—and their works are recognized at the local, council, regional, state, and national levels. The students listed in this gallery have received national recognition for their creativity, artistic merit, and interpretation of the 2008–2009 Reflections Program theme, “Wow!"

In addition to the galleries hosted on this site, National PTA has partnered with Parenting Magazine to host additional galleries of select Reflections artwork at www.parenting.com/PTA.  For more information about PTA’s partnership with Parenting, please visit http://www.pta.org/3452.htm.
