🎨 Texas PTA Reflections Contest 🎶
Does your child love to draw, write, dance, compose music, or create videos? The Texas PTA Reflections program is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and share their unique talents. This year’s theme is 'I Belong!' and entries can be submitted in several categories including Visual Arts, Literature, Photography, Dance, Music, and Film.
👉 Important: To participate, a student’s parent or guardian must be a PTA member. That makes this program not only a celebration of creativity, but also another great reason to join PTA today!
