Twelfth Annual Spring Convention

Mississippi Private School Education Association

March 3-4, 1983 Jackson, Mississippi

Theme " OUf Responsibility-Youth 's Destiny" To: Members of the lYiississippi Private School Education' Association

Welcome to the twelfth annual meeting of the Mississippi Private School Education Associa­ tion. Since our first meeting as 'an Association, we have grown much stronger in the areas which the MPSEA supports. Programs sponsored by MPSEA are the Academic Betterment Competi­ tion, the science fairs, the elementary school art competition, the elementary spelling competi­ tion, the ACT scholarship program, district meetings and·our annual corivention. This year, for the first time, we have sponsored the selection of the Teacher-of-the-Year awards. I would like to express appreciation to the Ex­ ecutive Secretary, to the officers of our Associa­ tion, to the district directors, and to all members who have worked to improve and strengthen the educational opportunities made possible through our private schools. The motto of our first meeting was, "Participa­ tion in Progress." We have had a part in the pro­ gress of our students in all areas of education-in this way we have strengthened our communities, our state, and our nation. May this convention be an inspiration for us to continue to "participate in progress. " Sincerely,

Jim Isbell MPSEA President, 1982-83
