Apply for a Grant from National PTA

If your PTA is participating in the Reflections Arts Program, the lead person needs to register with LAPTA here specifically for Reflections. All details can be reviewed at LouisianaPTA.org/reflections.

Have you shared the Reflections Theme Search Flyer with your school? Thank you to those who have because we are getting submissions! Help pick the 2026-27 theme that will spark fun and creativity for a future National PTA Reflections program. The theme will inspire students to create works of art in six categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. Past themes and duplicate submissions will not be considered. The past list of themes can be found at the bottom of the submission form page. Find the flyer to share and submission link at LouisianaPTA.org/contests.

It's time to get organized to hose the LAPTA Safety Poster Contest. National Fire Prevention Week is October 6-12, 2024.

The contest is open to Pre-K through Grade 6, plus Accessible Arts Category (students of all ages with an ADA Section 504.) The 2024 theme is Smoke Alarms: Make them work for you!
