Reflections has been a staple arts program in many schools for over 50 years. Through this effort, millions of students have found a creative outlet in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts. Read more about the program here.

 
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 in telling their unique story.
