The Reflections Arts Recognition Program is a national arts
recognition and achievement program for students. Since
1969, more than 10 million students across the nation have
taken part in this popular PTA program.
The Reflections Program provides an excellent opportunity for
students of all ages to:
Unleash their creative talents and be inspired
Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
Experience the joy and fun of making art
Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the
annual theme
Receive positive recognition for original works of art
Students submit an original piece, inspired by the annual
theme, for their school’s Reflections Program in any of the
following arts areas.
Dance Choreography Music Composition
Film Production Photography
Literature Visual Arts
To allow student artwork to be recognized and judged with
the appropriate developmental age and skill levels in mind,
the Reflections Program is organized by school grade, offering
five (5) divisions.
Primary: Preschool-Grade 2
Intermediate: Grades 3-5
Middle School: Grades 6-8
High School: Grades 9-12
Special Artist: Ungraded
To take part, student entries at a school are first recognized,
judged and celebrated by the local PTA unit. Some selected
unit entries are then chosen to represent the
PTA at the council and district PTA levels. Student artwork
submitted to California State PTA by a district PTA will be
considered for an Award of Excellence and an Award of Merit.
Students recognized with a California State PTA Award of
Excellence will have:
An opportunity to showcase and perform their artwork at
the California State PTA convention
Prizes including an Award of Excellence medal, certificate
and $100 savings bond presented on stage at convention
An expense-paid trip for the award-winning student and
one parent/guardian to California State PTA convention
These Award of Excellence entries represent California State
PTA at the National level of the Reflections Program. Student
recipients of the National PTA Award of Excellence and Award
of Merit are recognized at the annual National PTA convention
and their artwork is featured as part of the program’s
traveling, national exhibit.
FUTURE REFLECTIONS PROGRAM THEMEThe Reflections Program annual theme search offers
another great way for students to get involved in the
Reflections Program. Encourage your student to brain-
storm and imagine a theme that will appeal to others
in preschool through grade 12. For submitting the
award-winning theme, the student receives $100 and
recognition at the National PTA convention in June.
Entries are due November 1. Forms can be found at
www.capta.org under Programs, Reflections.

“I choreographed my dance to the song “Imagine,”
because the song is about having no lines and the world
living as one. This is an integrated dance which brings
people with and without disabilities together. I believe
everyone should be equal. I hope my dance can educate
and open people’s minds. Also, I hope to inspire some

“This Morning - originally written as a theme to a
musical I’m writing - is a song meant to inspire
people to do new things and believe in themselves. It
is written to say that you should always be who you
want to be and do what you want to do - no matter
what other people say. In the musical I wrote it for, it
is sung by a poor farmer whose hardships do not stop
him from being himself and pursuing his dream.”

Inspired by dances from other cultures. Dance can
bring people together. This dance represents Brazil,
Senegal, India and the U.S. as separate cultures to
cherish. We come together to respect each other’s
cultures, and learn new things. Learning about one
another helps us find our similarities, and celebrate
our differences. This piece includes Contemporary,
West African, Samba-reggae, Bollywood, Bhangra,
and Hip-Hop dance. I shaped the traditional styles to
show connection, and the world coming together.”

Elimisha. Elimisha is the Swahili word for inspire. My
film is about successful and inspiring African-
Americans and how because they were different,
they became special in many ways. I believe my film
relates to the theme because it talks about how the
people I’ve chosen stood out and how they continue
to inspire people like me. As Ella Fitzgerald would
say, just don’t give up trying to do what you really
want to do. When there is love and inspiration, I
don’t think you can really go wrong.”

dakota’s WordsKelsey BondSeventh Grade
Isaac Sowers Middle School
Fourth District
My name is Dakota Henshaw, and my life is anything
but normal. After all, having cerebral palsy doesn’t make
for a very normal life.
I live in a house. I eat food. I’m a human being. But I
can’t live in that house without someone always there,
watching me, making sure I don’t lose my balance or have
one of my fits. I can’t eat that food without it first being
spoon-fed to me as if I were a baby. And, let’s be honest,
most people really don’t see me as a real human being.
They talk about me as if I weren’t right there, as if I
were deaf or something. They look away when they see
me in my wheelchair with my head lolling to one side, my
limbs mostly immobile. I can’t control that. It’s not my
fault. But the worst part is they think I’m dumb. I mean
first-class, can’t-tell-mouse-from-elephant stupid.
I don’t have the kind of cerebral palsy that affects
someone’s intelligence. I can see, read, count and add in
my head without a problem. The real problem is that I
can’t tell people that. My parents seem to be the only
people who believe the details of my diagnosis and know
I’m as smart as anyone else, despite skeptical looks from
people who have seen me.
My first-place regret about having cerebral palsy is
that I can’t write. I love words. I love the way they sound
and the way they can be twisted, manipulated, and paired
with other words to create new worlds of sound, texture,
flavor, color, and music. In my head I like to create stories
about the things around me. I start with making phrases,
then I mush the phrases together into a little story and
add onto it.

“I believe that many handicapped are misunderstood
so I felt inspired to write a story about one. The
character in my story, Dakota, goes through several
steps while achieving her dream – Believing,
Dreaming and Inspiring.”

“One day I read some books of famous people having
struggle and hardships during each individual’s life.
They believed in themselves and worked hard to
make their dreams come true. One that inspired me
is: Being called hopeless as a composer. Beethoven
preferred playing his own composition instead of
improving his violin technique. I believe my dream to
become a great composer is USA will be come true
with the help of my family’s support, having several
songs and winning a variety of awards throughout
California already. Inspired by Beethoven’s Life, I
created this song entailed, ‘Endeavor’.”

“As I live my life, it is impossible to experience
everything in this world. But instead, I read about other
people’s experiences from books. I wanted to express
this by connecting the pages of the book with the hairs
of a human. The lips portray the belief that the book
gives us, while the eyes dream. Each of the pages and
each of the hairs are connected in a way to convey the
message that inspiration comes from books.”

“Believe, Dream, Inspire… Those are three powerful
words. My choreography represents how our
generation must inspire the next generation just like
we were inspired by the generations before us. We
have to inspire them to dream of all the possibilities in
life and encourage them to believe in themselves and
who they want to be. At the beginning of the dance, I
am a little girl and the pillow represents the inspiration
that another dancer has passed to me. At the end of
the dance I pass on the inspiration to a little girl who
represents generations to come.”

It’s about all the little details underneath the surface (roots

brings out their true beauty. A truly beautiful person can
recognize their dreams, believe that they can accomplish them,

“I was walking along a bridge in Prague when I happened upon a
small metal grating filled to capacity with locks that caught my
eyes. A couple in love takes a lock and writes both their names
on it. After the lock is fastened on the bar, the key is tossed into
the river. The act represents the permanence of the relationship
and the hope, belief, and dream about their future together. This
custom is spreading throughout the world and is inspiring

Love of a different kindJordyn Yokoyama
Ninth Grade
Adolfo Camarillo High School
Twelfth District
I can still remember it, how it all began. A rumble...A
wiz ...A tremble… Then the boom. The boom that stole my
hearing as swiftly as a thief in the night. As it turned out to
be, that day was inevitable, the explosion being the result
of faulty equipment, a disaster waiting to happen.
Well, it’s not difficult remembering one of the worst
days of my life to date. However, some of the little details
from twenty years ago that were once so vivid are now
blurred clouds of thought. But what details I can recall hold
what is now my Bible, my truth. Alright then, so, here’s how
it all began...
I was a masterpiece. An incredible talent. Everyone
said so, and I believed it too. Singing was my calling, my gift,
my future, and the future looked bright at the time. Record
deals, job offers, agents flocking to me, everything seemed
to be going my way. This time in my life was simple enough.
I was a prodigy, a gift, I was lucky as a pot of gold!
Sadly, I was also the cockiest disaster ever made at the
time, but there’s no need to bore you with those details.
That part of my life is easy enough to understand, so let’s
jump to the day it all happened...
It was a Wednesday, July, 1994 I believe. Summer was
here, and the quilt of warmth that the sun beat down on
the Earth made it hard to ignore. Like I said, some details I
cannot recall, but I can still remember the smell of daisies
that wafted through the air that day.
Read the full story in the Reflections Gallery
“Love of a Different Kind is a story about a woman looking
back on the day that she lost her hearing. Through her bad
experience, the woman learns how to dream, believe and
inspire. My inspiration for this story was Helen Keller and her
amazing story of triumph over tragedy.”

a life outside of middle and high school and stay patient until
you get into the real world. Finally, when it’s all over, you
must INSPIrE students who are bullied the same way you
were. I have done the first two steps in my own life and I
hope to inspire others with this piece.”

“To me, the theme reflects the journey undertook by every
artist: bravely believing in themselves, chasing a dream that
others may find foolish, and sharing their inspiration with
the world when success comes. John, as the quintessential
wanna be artist, embodies perfectly the spirit of freedom
and magical inspiration that defines the world of art – where
dreams, no matter how seemingly ridiculous,
