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 "I Belong!" This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love of learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
