A special thank you to Mrs. Walton, our Arts Teacher, for her dedication and support in ensuring our students had the opportunity to participate through visual arts in this year’s Reflections Program. We truly appreciate her commitment to fostering creativity at Renaissance.

Congratulations to all participants for showcasing their creativity and talent!

Thank you to our schools, families, and volunteers for supporting the Reflections Program.
Let’s continue to encourage our students to explore the arts and express themselves!

The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Georgia PTA cultural arts competition. Since 1969, over 10 million students across the nation have taken part in this popular PTA program.

The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. The excitement and enthusiasm that the program generates for students, parents, schools and communities is unmatched with the majority of Georgia PTAs participating in the program at all PTA levels.

That’s why the Reflections Program provides an excellent opportunity for students of all ages to:

• Unleash their creative talents and be inspired

• Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork

• Experience the joy and fun of making art

• Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme

• Receive positive recognition for their original works of art

State-winning Reflections submissions that advance to the national level go through two rounds of review by arts professionals from across the country. Through the review, over 200 student Reflections participants are selected for recognition with the following awards from National PTA: Award of Merit, Award of Excellence and Award of Outstanding Interpretation. The national awardees are announced on May 1 and are celebrated throughout the following calendar year.
