Reflections
Burbank Council PTA participates in the National PTA Reflections Program by supporting and mentoring its local PTA/PTSA units as they conduct their school-level Reflections programs. The Council also coordinates council-level judging and awards, advancing winning entries to the district level.
The 2026-2027 Reflections theme is "What My Culture Means to Me".
The BCPTA Reflections Reception is on January 23, 2027.
Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
-
Unleash creative talents and be inspired
-
Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
-
Experience the fun and joy of making art
-
Tap into critical-thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
-
Receive positive recognition for their original works of art
Participation is easy, exciting, and empowering!
How Does It Work?
All students attending PTA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six areas:
-
Dance Choreography
-
Literature
-
Photography
-
Film Production
-
Music Composition
-
Visual Arts
Artworks are submitted first to school-level PTAs, where they are first recognized, celebrated, and judged by five grade-level divisions. Winning artwork from the school level is then sent on to councils and then districts for consideration. The final artworks submitted to California State PTA by districts are then considered for Outstanding Interpretation, Awards of Excellence or Awards of Merit. Outstanding Interpretation and Award of Excellence entries then go on to represent California in the final National PTA judging round. For more information on student art submissions, please talk to your school PTA.
