ARTS IN EDUCATION
This Year's Theme is "What My Culture Means to Me"
The Reflections Theme Search Contest invites students nationwide, and at U.S. schools abroad, to submit original ideas that inspire future Reflections programs. After review at the state and national levels, one theme is selected based on creativity, relevance, and inspiration.
The chosen theme for the 2026–2027 Reflections program is “What My Culture Means to Me,” created by Sophia Partola of Wilton High School PTSA in Connecticut.
