The Dripping Springs ISD Council of PTAs has advanced the creative work of 13 DSISD students in the 2025-26 National PTA Reflections program to the Texas PTA competition.
The National PTA Reflections program encourages students of all ages and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. Through the program, National, Texas PTA and Dripping Springs ISD PTAs urge students at all grade levels to create and submit original works of art in the medium of their choice, reflecting on a specific student-centered theme. This year’s theme was “I Belong”.
Pieces were selected to represent DSISD from various grade divisions and categories. State winners will be announced by the Texas PTA later this spring.
