WHAT IS THE REFLECTIONS PROGRAM?

Reflections is a nation-wide program promoting self-expression, artistic literacy, increased confidence and a love for life-long learning that helps students become more successful in both school and in life.  The program focuses on positive recognition instead of competition and students can enjoy the benefits of creative expression, regardless of ability.  Over the past 50 years, the program has grown to become one of the largest of its kind in the country with over 300,000 students participating annually across the six entry divisions.
