The mission of the National PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children through collaboration, commitment, accountability, respect, inclusivity, and integrity.
The Mary Lou Anderson Reflections Arts Enhancement grant program, rooted in the National PTA Reflections arts program established by Mary Lou Anderson over 50 years ago, is dedicated to perpetuating Anderson's vision of making a significant, lasting impact on children's lives through the arts. It encourages students to explore their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, promoting artistic expression and personal growth.
