Reflections Program open to all students

Students in grades K-12 are invited to participate in the Ohio/National PTA Reflections program in the categories of literature, music composition, photography, visual arts, dance choreography and film production. The theme is “Accepting Imperfection.” Students may develop an entry in or outside of school and may submit as many entries as they like. 

There are rules for each category which, along with an official student entry form, are available in the four school offices, on the school district website under Flyer Place, or through the individual building chairs as listed below. All entries should be submitted to the respective school office, marked “PTA Reflections Program,” no later than Friday, Dec. 6.

There is also an Accessible Arts Division for students – from all grades – identified as having a disability according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. It offers non-artistic accommodations and assistance from an adult for students to participate.

Entries will be judged at the school district level by individuals not affiliated with the schools based on artistic merit/creativity, mastery of medium and interpretation of the theme. The decisions of the judges are final. Winning entries will be forwarded to the Ohio PTA for further judging and recognition. Winners at the Ohio PTA level will advance to the National PTA for further award consideration.
