The National PTA has a amazing program which highlights the arts, Reflections. In addition to highlighting the arts, this program fosters stronger partnerships within the school community, something which is very important to the National PTA.
The National PTA Reflections program encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves by giving positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Since it was founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, millions of students have benefited from this program. Students in Pre-K through grade 12 create theme-based artwork in dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography or visual arts. The 2012-2013 Reflections theme is: The Magic of a Moment.
It is the intention of the SMS PTA to welcome the complete Reflections program starting this year or the next. If you are interested in being a member of the committee that will implement this program, please let us know. We would love to have you!
While the complete program requires school involvement, the theme search does not, and we want SMS students to consider submitting a theme for next year's program. The SMS PTA wants students to " . . . fuel a future Reflections program theme by submitting innovative concepts to their State PTAs. One concept from each state is considered and National PTA announces the selected theme the following Spring. The Magic of a Moment was developed by Kate Eldredge, a student from Braun Station Elementary PTA in San Antonio, Texas. Download the Theme Search Form and view a list of previously selected themes."
