Founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, the National PTA Reflections Arts Contest encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves by providing an opportunity for positive recognitions.  Reflections is an all-volunteer lead PTA program that works to encourage students to develop original theme-based artwork in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, or visual.
