THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING LOCAL REFLECTIONS CHAIRS AND STATE JUDGES! Thank you for volunteering your time! We appreciate your continued support of the PTA Reflections program and the students in our great state of Montana! With your hard work, dedication, and passion for the arts, we were able to bring our Montana students another year of creativity. Every year, we look forward to receiving your top local-level entries and seeing the talent from young artists across the state of Montana.
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them 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.
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K – Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Accessible Arts (All grades welcome).
Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
