Reflections

Mann Students! Do you enjoy art, music or dance or have an interest in writing, producing films or taking photos?

The National PTA Reflections competition is an arts recognition and achievement program, and the theme for 2025-2026 is: I Belong! “To belong” is to be a part of a group, team or community, and your inclusion in that group can be documented by membership and rosters. But in a broader sense, to belong means your place in a certain community is valued, respected and secure. In either sense, belonging builds self-esteem, social skills, and, in moments of personal or collective crisis, belonging to a supportive group can offer comfort, strength, and resilience.

Reflections entries will be due after Winter Break, but students can begin preparing now by exploring this year's theme and working with current teachers. For more information or if you have questions, please reach out to us at reflectionsjlmann@gmail.com.
