Every autumn, Maercker PTA participates in the Reflections arts competition. This program offered by National PTA encourages our students to explore and express themselves through the arts. Our wildcats have the opportunity to create original works to show us their artistic ability and creativity in expressing a common theme.

The theme chosen for the 2026-27 school year is "What My Culture Means to Me"

Get inspired and start creating!
The Reflections program is unique in that ALL PROJECTS must be inspired by the annual (student created!) theme

NOTE: Online entry is only available on desktop / laptop computer (not via mobile device)

Projects are DUE: November 16, 2026

Interested in volunteering to help run our Reflections program? email: reflections@maerckerpta.org
