ARTS IN EDUCATION 

Reflections Contest

Lawler PTA is announcing the 2026-2027 Reflections program and this year’s theme is: 

‘What my Culture Means to Me...'.

Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

You must be a PTA member to participate in this program.

The PTA Reflections Program allows your child to tell their story through dance, film, literature, music, photography, or visual arts.  Your child can choose the arts category they’re interested in, create an original piece of artwork based on the theme: “I Belong!” and be recognized as an artist in our school & community.  No experience is required to participate! We will begin accepting submissions on October 1st, and all entries are due by October 31st.  For more details and the rules and entry form can be found by clicking on the links below.
