Reflections
Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years and has grown to be one of the largest nationwide programs of its kind. Through the efforts of our local PTAs, students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. With positive recognition as the focus of this program, rather than competition, students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression.
