Each year, the PTA Reflections

Program challenges students to create

art inspired by a specific theme.

Themes are selected from hundreds of

ideas submitted by students to the PTA

Reflections Program Theme Search.

This year’s theme…

A magic moment is a short period of time which is

very special, especially because something happens

that makes you very happy.

What moments in your life have been magic moments?

What kinds of things could make a magic moment for you?

Have you ever seen someone else have a magic

moment?
