“I am Hopeful Because…”
That’s the theme for the 2023-24 Reflections Art Program, which has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969. California State PTA and its members, families and kids are on the forefront of this amazing program, which increases community awareness of the importance of arts in education.
Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
Unleash creative talents and be inspired
Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
Experience the fun and joy of making art
Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.
All CHS Students are invited to participate by submitting original artwork in one of SIX categories:
How Students Participate in 3 Easy Steps:
(1) Reflect on the theme "I am hopeful because..."
