2026 Reflections Theme
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Students submit entries by October 30th to the Sunnyvale PTA where they will be judged. Some of the entries are submitted to the Texas Regional PTA, Texas State PTA and (hopefully), National PTA for judging.
Sunnyvale PTA student members have traditionally done well in the program with many making it to the State level judging and even going to the National program.
How to participate:
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Special Artist (All grades welcome).*
Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS OCTOBER 30th.
The Sunnyvale PTA is proud of all of the artwork submitted by the students and will host an Art Exhibition on November 14 with all Sunnyvale PTA students' artwork. Students must be PTA members to advance to regionals.
All submissions must be new and original work based on the theme "Accepting Imperfection." A large part of the judging is based how the work relates to the theme as spelled out in the Artist's Written Statement.
