The National PTA Reflections program is an annual theme based art competition which encourages students to express themselves in art. Six art categories are recognized: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Musical Composition, Photography and Visual Arts. With no limit to the number of entries one may submit, a student will often submit an entry in the art area in which he or she feels most competent and a second in an art area that is new and challenging.

In Roxbury, this program is open to all students in pre-K through 8th grade. Deadline for entries will be in November 2011 (tba) and all entries are displayed at the Ledgewood Mall in celebration of Youth Arts Month (March). Almost 500 Roxbury students participated in the Reflections Program during the 2010/2011 school year.

The theme for this past year’s program was “Together We Can”
