What is the Reflections Program?

For 40 years, the national PTA Reflections Program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. This program was started in 1969 by Colorado PTA board member, Mary Lou Anderson. Since that time, the Reflections Program has become one of the most popular programs that National PTA offers.

The PTA Reflections Program is designed to enhance quality arts education for students in preschool through grade 12, encouraging them to create works of art in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts. More than 500,000 students participate through their local PTAs each year—millions over the course of the program’s 40 years.

The Reflections Program helps parents encourage the creativity and lifelong learning of their children, and offers children recognition for their artistic endeavors. Parents, teachers, and community members all play a critical role in providing a positive learning environment for children. Supporting the PTA Reflections Program is one way you can increase student achievement, foster student talents, and promote the arts in your home, your school, and your community.

Our budgeted goal is $15,000, and PTSA will use these funds for requests made by GHS teachers and administration throughout the 2010-2011 school year, to benefit all GHS students.

If everyone participates we CAN reach our goal, so if you have not already sent yours, please send in your check TODAY!

*air filter and spindle sander for art classes

*electronic component upgrade for programming class

A Note From PTSA to Parents:
