Since 1969, the Reflections program has allowed millions of students to explore their artistic talents in an educational way. “The cultural arts are happiness. Happiness is drawing, dancing, finger painting. Happiness is modeling with clay, making music or a poem, performing a play.” -Mary Lou Anderson, founder of National PTA’s Reflections Program
