Here are the results from the 2007-08 Hawaii State PTSA Reflections Program.  We had almost 2000 entries from 26 local units state-wide in the 6 categories: literature, musical composition, photography, visual arts, dance, and film/video production.  National Finals entries will be posted once results are received.

Special thanks go out to our Neighbor Island Region Directors who really helped the process by judging their own island entries.  I’m sure you’ll join me in congratulating all the entries as well as the winners in this year’s program. Their artistic response to “I can make a difference by….” was inspiring and humbling.

What is Reflections?

Designed to enhance rather than replace a quality arts education, the Reflections Program provides opportunities for students to express themselves and to receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts.

National PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in four areas: literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts (which includes art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage). In its more than 30-year history, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art. The Reflections Program was started in 1969 by then Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.
