SCPTA Reflections Theme Search Entry Form

The search is on for a 2026-2027 PTA Reflections theme! National PTA’s Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. In response to this theme, students create works of art in one or all the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.

Help us pick the theme idea that will spark fun and creativity during a future National PTA Reflections program year! We’re looking for the most original theme ideas. This means past themes and duplicate submissions will not be considered. The student who submits the winning entry will receive $100 prize from National PTA.
