Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school, but in life.

Reflection Program

The Washington State Reflections Art Program is an opportunity for all Cherry Crest students to showcase their talents in visual arts, photography, music, dance, film, and literature. The 2020-2021 program year theme is “I Matter Because. Visit the Washington state Reflections website to learn more about the program and entry rules.
