Reflections is a PTA program supported by Collins Elementary PTA and organized by parent volunteers.  It is a national arts recognition and achievement program for students.  Students demonstrate their artistic and creative skills, literary skills, and imagination. 

Reflections encourages students of all ages to:

• Unleash creative talents and be inspired

• Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork

• Experience the fun and joy of making art

• Tap into critical-thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme

• Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.

PTA Reflections Submission Deadline extended to Friday, October 10, 2025.  Submit entries via our Reflections page.

Please email Volunteers@CollinsPTA.org once you have complete your fingerprinting and submitted your TB results to the school secretary so we can get you added to our approved volunteers list.

Our biggest fund raising is from our direct donations campaign.  From the generosity of families like yours, we are able to fund so many activities and programs for our students!  

Collins Elementary PTA suggests a donation of $350* per student. You may donate above the suggested amount, and any amount given greatly helps our students and school.
We have a fundraising goal of $120,000 for the year. Please help us reach our fundraising goal!

All donations are tax deductible. Non-profit Tax ID 77-0034798 - 100% of your donation to Collins PTA stays at Collins to benefit your child.

Did you know that spouses, children, and friends can be members too? Additional PTA member sign ups through your student qualify for additional entries. Multiple-student households will have memberships count toward each students’ classrooms. Yes! This also means your class can have more than 100% participation!
