Please note that In order for Shorewood students to participate in the Reflections program, we need someone to lead this effort. We can’t do this without you—thank you for considering!

Reflections Overview For Families and Students

Welcome to the SW PTSA Reflections program!

Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students pre-K through grade 12

  • explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas

  • develop artistic literacy (by describing how their art relates to a theme)

  • increase confidence

  • find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school but in life.

Students create original works of art in response to a theme. The theme for 2024-2025 is “Accepting Imperfection.”

The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA cultural arts competition. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original work.
