PLANNING
Local Arts Chair Guide
The Local Arts Chair Guide contains the basic information a local PTA needs to know to host the Reflections Program at its school. Contact your state PTA office for deadlines and state-specific rules and requirements before starting your planning.
PROMOTION
Once you've established your Reflections Program timeline, particularly the deadline for student submissions, promote the program to families and students, as well as teachers. The school's art, music, theater, film, dance, and photography teachers can be strong allies in encouraging all students to participate. So can parents, community members, and the school principal.
In your promotions, keep the following in mind:
- Include contact information on all fliers, posters, and other materials so people can ask questions, or even volunteer to help.
- Distribute Reflections Program deadlines and rules to all students at your school.
- Emphasize the current Reflections Program theme, and encourage student creativity. Submissions are judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme.
