National PTA Reflections Program
"I Belong"
National PTA's Reflections program provides opportunities for students to 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.
Over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art each year in response to a student-selected theme. This year's theme for the 2025-2026 program year is “I Belong.” Students submit their completed works in one or more arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. Multiple submissions are welcome! LASA entries will be judged in a blind process, and selected entries will move on to the Texas PTA level. Entries chosen from Texas PTA Reflections will move on in the process, where they may be chosen for state-wide and national honors.
Student submission details:
Reflect on the theme "I Belong." Create an original work of art that fits the theme through; visual art, photography, film production, literature, music composition, or dance choreography.
