Together We Make a Difference

Call for Entries

The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.

Students create original works of art that reflect a theme. This year's theme is "Accepting Imperfection" 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.

Categories and Divisions

Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (TK - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Accessible Artist (All grades welcome).* 

Students submit their completed works of art in one or more of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.  

Entries will be judged among other entries from Highland Oaks Elementary School students.  If selected, then entries advance to the Arcadia School District level, and can continue to advance to Regional, State and National level.

Works of art should reflect the theme "Accepting Imperfection"

*Students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504 may enter in the Accessible Arts division or grade division most closely aligned to their support needs.
