For over 40 years, the national PTA Reflections Program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. PTA believes that all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in the annual Reflections Program. Students in preschool through grade 12 are invited to create and submit works of art in the areas of: dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts. 

The six art areas: dance choreography; film production; literature; musical composition; photography; and the visual arts; are recognized in four divisions:

PRIMARY: Grades Preschool - Grade 2
INTERMEDIATE: Grades 3 - 5
MIDDLE: Grades 6 - 8
SENIOR: Grades 9 - 12

Any PTA Unit in good standing can participate in the PTA "Reflections" Program. The deadline for SES students to submit entries is November 5, 2010, and there will be an Art Showcase at SES in November. The Sacramento Council's Recognition & Awards Ceremony is scheduled for the evening of December 8 at the J.F. Kennedy High School Theater.
