🎨 6 art categories

Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

With positive recognition as the focus of this program, rather than competition, students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression and help in finding their own voice in telling their unique story.

This year, every student who submits an entry for Reflections at Newton Rayzor will be entered into a prize raffle with many wonderful prizes to be announced soon! All students who enter will also be recognized at a special reception and art show later this year.
