The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA cultural arts competition.

The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works.

Young artists get involved through their local PTA or PTSA. A student may submit an entry in any of six arts areas. Only original works of art are accepted. The six art areas are: Visual Arts Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film Production.


The 2025-2026 theme is "I Belong!"

Each local PTA is responsible for setting its own deadline for submissions. The deadline for all entries to be submitted to the SVPTSA Council is Dec. 15, 2025. 

For more information about the Reflections program, please visit the Washington State PTA's Reflections page, or email [email protected]. 

​(Local Reflections chairs can find more information at the WSPTA Reflections Leader page.)

2024-2025 Reflections Info 


The 2024-2025 theme was "Accepting Imperfection."

This year our district had three submissions from the SVPTSA Council chosen to receive awards from Washington State PTA and one that received national recognition!

Twin Falls Middle School student Madison Kloster earned the Award of Merit in the National PTA Reflections contest — placing third in the entire country among middle school students in the literature category — for her powerful poem "Healing"!

WSPTA only awards three awards in each division and grade level: Outstanding Interpretation (1st place, which moves on to the national level of competition), Award of Excellence (2nd place), and Award of Merit (3rd place). This year there were 90 awards issued at the state level, with only 28 entries selected to move on to nationals.
  • Madison Kloster, TFMS, middle school literature division, Healing - Outstanding Interpretation (first place; moves on to national level!)
  • Mackenzie Boulton-Wallace, MSHS, high school dance choreography division, Opening Up in the Spotlight - Award of Merit (third place)
  • Jerald Hersrud Kopp, SMS, middle school literature division, Does Imperfection Exist? - Award of Merit (third place)
