Benjamin Rush PTA

We are looking for a Reflections coordinator for the current school year. Without volunteers, we are unable to run PTA programs such as Reflections. If you're interested, please fill out the volunteer form.

Reflections is a National PTA arts in education program for students in grades K-12. Students create art based on the current year’s theme, which are submitted by students and selected 2 years in advance through an annual theme search contest. The theme for the 2020-2021 school year is, I Matter Because…, and was submitted by a then first grader who drew inspiration from her town being impacted by the CA wildfires of 2018. 

Use your imagination to create artwork, photography, poems or short stories, dance choreography, and music composition. You may enter as many times as you like in as many categories as you like. Each entry must be accompanied by an official entry form and are due to Ben Rush PTA by Monday, November 9th.

Full rules and instructions can be found at WA State PTA Reflections, and below are school specific rules and deadlines.
