Welcome to the 6th Annual Reflections Award Ceremony

For over 50 years, National PTA’s Reflections Program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. Florida PTA is excited to celebrate the amazing original works of art in the following six categories with you: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. The National PTA Reflections Program could not take place without the counless hours so generously given by our volunteers. We would like to thank our Reflections chairs from the local units and county councils who promoted the program, submitted their entries and celebrated their winners. We would also like to thank our state level volunteers who helped receive the submissions from 14 counties across the state. Lastly, we would like to thank the judges who volunteered their time

Please accept our apologies for any errors or omissions from the program. If a student needs a correction to a certificate - please send an email to programs.coordinator@floridapta.org. Thank you!
