Casey Elementary PTA

Jackson Mississippi my friend has a great service. You should check it out.

Congratulations to Casey Elementary School for being named a Model Whole School by the Mississippi Arts Commission. For this honor, the school will receive a $9,000 grant to support its investment in arts integration into the school’s curriculum.

"This achievement is an indication of the hard work and efforts of the faculty, students, parents, and community partners," said Dr. Anthony Moore, former principal of Casey Elementary. "Once again, the school has been recognized for its commitment to innovative teaching practices utilizing the arts."

Casey still remains a place where "The Arts Make Us Smart." Additional funding of $4,000 will also be provided to support staff and professional development.

A great article on the value of Arts Education - beyond the direct performance product. It's about encouraging student engagement, focus, and confidence in all aspects of their lives.

The city of Jackson has indicated the water shortage will continue throughout the city for a few days. In addition to the shortage, we have several schools whose air conditioning system depends on water to run effectively. As a result, we will continue virtual learning on Wednesday, August 31. We will continue to evaluate the water conditions every day to determine when it is safe to return to in-person learning.
