GUSD Council PTA Reflections Celebration
Showcasing Artists & Works from the Council PTA art program
Saturday, April 01
4:00pm - 6:00pm
Join Glendale Unified's Council PTA as they celebrate and highlight artists who participated in the 2022-2023 Reflections art program.
During this event, the winning artists and creators in the 2022-2023 National PTA Reflections program from Glendale Unified School District will be honored. Come view the artworks and share in the celebration.
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts. It also helps students in PreK through Grades 12 explore their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them succeed in school and life.
2023's theme is "Show Your Voice" where students are inspired and encouraged to create original works highlighting one of six areas: Musical Composition, Photography, Visual Arts, Film Production, Literature, and Dance Choreography.
This year, there were 537 art entries submitted at the school sites throughout Glendale Unified, and 123 were judged at the Council PTA level. Thirty outstanding interpretation winners, which are featured below, were then judged at First District PTA. From these 30, 5 moved on to the State competition. Two from our Glendale District will be moving on to the National competition!
Join us as we come together as a community to highlight the winners wonderful and creative work.

Glendale Central Library
Established in 1906.
Library services in Glendale were first provided in 1906. The women of the Tuesday Afternoon Club, a social and philanthropic organization, raised money through a series of lectures to fund a library collection. The library opened in a renovated pool room at Third and E (Wilson and Everett) Streets with seventy books, soon supplemented by a State Traveling Library of fifty more, and served a population of 1,186.
In 1907, the City Trustees passed Ordinance 53 which established and supported a library which "...shall be forever free to the inhabitants and nonresident taxpayers of the City of Glendale..." The first year the library had 251 books, 165 registered patrons, and a budget of $248.88.
In 1913, a Carnegie grant of $12,500 made possible the construction of the main library at Kenwood and Fifth (Harvard Street). The building was completed and dedicated November 13, 1914.
