2025-2026 REFLECTIONS

The Reflections theme for the 2024-2025 school year is:  

What a wonderful theme as our Allen students get ready to SOAR into the future and dream of the impact they'll make in the future.  Each year the National PTA Reflections program offers local, regional, state and national opportunities for young artists in Pre-K through Grade 12 to be recognized for their creativity. 

We'd love to encourage students in all pathways to showcase this theme. From social studies essays to music composition to dance.. there's so many great ways our kids can express themselves.  

Students may choose one or all of the available arts categories:

• Dance Choreography
• Film Production
• Literature
• Music Composition
• Photography
• Visual Arts
• Special Artist 

Students should download the Program Rules to ensure their art meets the requirements for each art category. Each entry must be accompanied by a completed Student Entry Form. 

• Student Entry Form, available in English (link available in August)
• Formulario de entrada para estudiantes including entry form and rules, available in Spanish (link available in August)
