Reflections
Reflections is a national PTA-Sponsored program that encourages students to express themselves artistically. Each year the National PTA selects a theme and students create a piece of artwork that reflects the theme in Literature, Photography, Dance, Visual Arts, Film or Music. Students submit their entries of their unique interpretation of the chosen theme, for judging at the county, division, state and ultimately national level if they advance. This is a wonderful, inclusive way for all Arlington students to express themselves in their own artistic ways.
For inspiration, visit the Reflections virtual art gallery and learn more about prizes and scholarships at PTA.org/Reflections/Awards.
I Belong!
Calling all Creative Minds!
It’s the time of year again, and this year’s 2025-2026 Reflections contest has begun! This year’s theme, “I Belong”, is your chance to develop a film, music composition, poem, artwork, or photograph around what this means to you.
“To belong” is to be a part of 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. This is especially true when belonging means knowing you are included without needing to change or hide parts of who you are.
