Reflections Gala
Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through the efforts of our Local PTAs, millions of 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 and help in finding their own voice in telling their unique story. Started in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, then Colorado PTA President, Reflections has grown to be one of the largest nationwide programs of its kind, with more than 200,000 students participating annually. Join us at our Reflections Gala on March 2, 2026, at the Legacy Learning Center from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm to celebrate our artists and learn about scholarships available for participants! Additionally, mark your calendars for Rally Day 2027 and the Texas PTA Launch 2026 to explore more opportunities for volunteering in our community. Start preparing your entries for next year with the theme What My Culture Means To Me!
