Welcome to the SCCPTA Reflections Program!
The theme for the 2024-2025 program year is Accepting Imperfection!
Hint: Remember 40% of their mark, when judging is performed, is awarded based on how the artists statement about how their artwork ties to the theme, make sure you help your students work just as hard on their statement as they did creating their artwork.
All students attending PTA schools* sponsoring the program are invited to participate.
Students should submit their completed works of art in one, more or all of the available arts categories:
