Reflections entries for Disney Elementary are now open through 11/20!

The PTA Reflections Program is a national arts program that encourages students to explore their creativity and express themselves through art.

Students create original artwork inspired by a theme, using their imagination to show what that theme means to them. They can participate through drawing, painting, photography, music, dance, creative writing, or film.

The goal isn't to be the best artist — it's to encourage creativity, build confidence, and give every student an opportunity to share their unique perspective of the theme.

Selected entries may have the opportunity to advance to district, state, and national levels.

For the 2026–2027 school year, the theme is “What My Culture Means to Me.” Students can explore family traditions, favorite foods, celebrations, music, community, and anything else that represents their culture.

We need a small group of helpers on 11/11 for Picture Day Retakes!

Signup link is in the comments!

Helpers needed!!!

Risso has won the Pod Party on 10/26! If you have a student who is in the Risso Pod, and you would like to volunteer, please use the link or QR code to sign up for one of the three stations. Thank you!
