Reflections 2025–2026: “I Belong”

We’re thrilled to announce the 2025–2026 National PTA Reflections Program theme:✨ "I Belong" ✨

This powerful theme invites students to explore what it means to belong and to express that feeling through the arts—from visual art and photography to music, dance, literature, and film. It's an invitation to reflect on connection, identity, and community—and to share your unique story through creativity.

What Is Reflections?

The Reflections Program is a national arts recognition initiative that encourages students to express themselves creatively based on a shared theme. It's open to all BMMS students and welcomes entries across six categories:

🎵 Music Composition

🎨 Visual Arts

📸 Photography

🎬 Film Production

✏️ Literature

💃 Dance Choreography

Participation in Reflections is more than just a contest—it’s an opportunity for students to build confidence, develop creative skills, and be recognized at the school, district, state, and national levels.

Why “I Belong”?

Belonging is a feeling that resonates with all of us—whether it's in the classroom, on a team, within a family, or as part of a community. This year's theme encourages students to think deeply about what belonging means to them and how they can express that meaning through their art.

We can’t wait to see how BMMS students bring this theme to life in their own unique ways.
