National PTA Reflections Program
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 2026-2027 program year is “What My Culture Means to Me.” 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 Council/Regional level. From there, entries may move on to the Texas PTA level and even the national level, where they may be chosen for state-wide and national honors. All LASA entrants will be invited to a special lunch to celebrate their work.
Student submission details:
Reflect on the theme "What My Culture Means to Me." Create an original work of art that fits the theme through; visual art, photography, film production, literature, music composition, or dance choreography.
