ARTS EDUCATION - REFLECTIONS CONTEST
Engaging in the arts has a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of every child and has proven to help level the “learning field” across socio-economic boundaries by strengthening critical-thinking, cognitive and creative skills. Texas PTA supports arts education as a key element in education. The Reflections Contest in an arts education program has allowed millions of children to express their creativity through diverse formats.
