The 2026-2027 PTA Reflections Art Program invites students from all grades to explore their creativity under this year's theme: “What My Culture Means to Me” This theme provides an opportunity for students to reflect, through art, on the traditions, values, experiences, and stories that make their culture unique. Through original works of art, students can share what culture means to them and celebrate the people, places, customs, and memories that have shaped who they are.
