PTA Reflections State Qualifiers Announced

The Reflections program, a Texas PTA staple for over 50 years, is proud to announce its Texas State Qualifiers. The program, fueled by the tireless efforts of local PTAs, has provided millions of students with a platform to express themselves creatively across various mediums, including dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.

On Saturday, May 18, 2024, students receiving an Honorable Mention, Award of Merit, Award of Excellence, or the coveted Overall Award of Excellence will be recognized for their outstanding achievements during a special ceremony. The event will be held at the RBFCU Auditorium located inside the RBFCU Corporate Building in Live Oak, Texas. Texas PTA President Jennifer Easley will be on hand to present the awards.
