Reflections can also serve as an outlet for students to creatively explore what they are learning in the classroom. When children express themselves through words, pictures, music, dance, film, and other art media, they grow intellectually; they learn to analyze their thoughts and feelings. The Reflections Program helps parents encourage the creativity, self-discovery, and lifelong learning of their children. Supporting the PTA Reflections Program is one way you can increase student achievement, foster student talents, and promote the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n – National PTA<\/p>\n Visit<\/span><\/i> PTA Reflections<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0to register and for consent forms for all projects in which a person\u2019s voice or image will be used in the artwork.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Visit <\/span><\/i>PTA Reflections \u2013 Program Gallery<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/i><\/a> to view previous entries and winning pieces.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#21aae2″ background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”initial” background_repeat=”repeat” background_blend=”screen” custom_padding=”0|0px|17px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”27px|0px|0|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is PTA?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A parent-teacher association (PTA) is a formal organization composed of parents, teachers and staff whose purpose is to facilitate parental participation in a school.
