Alexandria Dean	Michael Wallace	Carter Wilson

Jackson Public Schools students entered creative pieces into the 2016 Mississippi PTA Reflections Program, a statewide arts contest sponsored annually by the Mississippi Parent Teacher Association. Twelve students from Davis IB Elementary School, one student from Power APAC, and one student from Provine High School received awards at the state level and were recognized at an awards program as part of the Mississippi PTA State Convention.

First place winners in all categories and divisions will represent the state of Mississippi at the national level. Prizes at the national level include an all-expense-paid trip to Orlando, Florida to attend the national convention, monetary awards, scholarships, certificates, and other prizes.
The theme for the 2016 Reflections competition was “What is Your Story.”

Carter Wilson, a student from Davis, will compete on the national level for a video he produced entitled “Recycle Like Superheroes.” This video shows that anyone can recycle and be a hero to help save the world. 

Wilson will be joined at the national competition by five more first-place winners from Davis along with middle school student Alexandria Dean, representing Power Academic and Performing Arts Complex, and Michael Wallace from Provine High School.
