The theme for the 2025-2026 program year is “I BELONG”
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
​
​Each year, hundreds of thousands of students in pre-K through grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. In Reflections, students submit artworks in the available arts category areas and program divisions: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Accessible Arts (All grades welcome).
​

All Smoke Rise Elementary students are invited to showcase their creativity in
Dance, Film, Literature, Music, Photography, or Visual Arts.
