The National PTA Reflection Program honors and showcases student creativity from Pre-K through 12th grade. To ensure fairness, our judges—experts in each category—conduct blind reviews, meaning they have no knowledge of our students or have any school connections. The highest-scoring entries in each level will advance through the process, beginning with the Local PTA, then moving to the Council PTA, District PTA, State PTA, and finally, the National level.
 

 

 

THANK YOU
Thank you to our Reflections Committee Chairs, Becky Havas and Natalie Croswell! The Reflections program spans several months, and we are so grateful for their dedication throughout the entire process. They have worked tirelessly in every aspect—organizing submissions, coordinating judging, and celebrating the artistic achievements of our students. Their commitment has made this year's Reflections program a true success.
 
Becky has dedicated many years to this role, and while this will be her last year, we will truly miss her. If you're interested in filling her shoes, please reach out to us at SeacliffPTA@gmail.com.
