Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students 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 not only in school, but in life.
The theme for the 2021-2022 program year is I Will Change the World By…. Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
Deadline for submitting your entries is Friday, November 12, 2021, 6 PM. Given the impact of COVID-19, the Reflections program will be run virtually this year, so we’ll accept virtual submission only. Visit Bellevue High PTSA website to learn more.
