Share your creativity with Reflections
This Year's Reflections Theme is "I Belong"
What does “I Belong” mean?
Belonging is about feeling valued, accepted, and secure in who we are. For our young students, it’s the confidence that they can be themselves—whether with family, friends, in school, or in their community. Belonging isn’t about being the same as others; it’s about being respected for our differences and knowing we have a place. When children feel they belong, they are free to explore, create, and grow.
Reflections is not “just an art contest.”
It helps kids take risks, be inspired, think creatively, and be celebrated for their unique voices and perspectives. Working towards the theme of I Belong and following a creative process on a timeline helps them build skills in self-expression, reflection, and perseverance—tools that will support them well beyond the program.
