JPS scholars shine in All City Call Showcase celebrating musical talent and community pride

The Jackson Public School District Board Meeting on May 6, 2025, highlighted several key initiatives aimed at enhancing student engagement and community involvement. A major focus of the meeting was the successful return of the All City Call Showcase, which celebrated the musical talents of JPS scholars. The event featured two dynamic mass choirs and individual performances that energized the auditorium, showcasing the hard work and creativity of the students.

In addition to the showcase, the board emphasized the importance of timely registration for the upcoming school year, which begins on July 28. Parents are encouraged to register their children as soon as possible, as registration will not be available during the first week of school. The district provided clear instructions for registration through the PowerSchool parent portal and offered assistance via phone and email for those needing help.

The meeting also announced the upcoming Freedom Schools program, running from June 2 to June 27. This grant-funded initiative, sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund, aims to promote literacy through engaging activities, including field trips and music, while providing nutritious meals. Limited spots are available, and registration is required for participation.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to fostering a vibrant educational environment and ensuring that students have access to valuable resources and opportunities for growth.
