Reflections is a nationwide arts recognition initiative that encourages students to explore their creativity through dance, film, literature, music, photography, and visual arts. Each year, students create and submit original works based on a shared theme, with opportunities for recognition at the local, state, and national levels. This year’s theme, “I Belong,” invites students to express their own unique ideas of belonging through the arts.
