About Reflections
For over 50 years, Reflections has given students the opportunity to explore their creativity and express themselves through the arts. The program is about more than competition—it’s an opportunity to build confidence, share personal stories, and find their voice.
Learn more about the program at Texas PTA Reflections.
We can’t wait to see how our Bobcats show us what their culture means to them!
Volunteer to Be a Judge
We’re looking for volunteers to help judge Beverly students’ artwork. Judges will receive digital copies of the entries, along with a spreadsheet and instructions. Judging will take place in early November, and volunteers can complete it on their own time. There’s no need to meet or coordinate with other judges.
If you’re interested in helping, please email reflections@beverlypta.com. Thank you for supporting our students!
