The Reflections program encourages students of all ages and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. Through the program Gulledge PTA and PTAs across the country urge students to create and submit original works of art in the medium of their choice, reflecting on the year's specific theme.
To participate, students reflect on the theme "I Belong" and create an original work in any of the six categories!
