Reflections Contest

The PTA would like to invite all Cooper students to participate in this year’s National PTA Reflections Contest. 

Does your child enjoy art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films

and/or taking photos? Then let them have fun unleashing their inner artist with PTA Reflections!

Each year, students across the country in Pre-K through Grade 12 are invited to create and submit original works of art.

Note: Students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504 may enter in the Special Artist Division OR grade division most closely aligned to their functional abilities. Please reach out for more information if this applies to your child.
