Ohio PTA > PROGRAMS WHAT IS REFLECTIONS? The Ohio PTA, through National PTA, holds an annual cultural arts program, Reflections. Children in preschool through grade 1.
Year Up’s mission is to provide urban young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education.

Teachers, parents, children and community can get involved in enhancing arts education though the Reflections program.
