About the Reflections Program

Each year, the National, state, and local PTAs invite pre-K–12 students to explore a student-selected theme through the Reflections art program. Participants create original works in their chosen medium, evaluated by art professionals for creativity, technique, and thematic expression. In 2024-2025, hundreds of thousands of students nationwide and in U.S. schools overseas joined this tradition. The program promotes creativity, innovation, and confidence through artistic expression.

The 2025-2026 Reflections Program will begin in the Fall of 2025 with the theme “I Belong!” We encourage Dubois Area School District students to participate in this free program provided by local parent-teacher associations.
