Mississippi School Public Relations Association - March 31, 2017
MSPRA announces 2016-17
Awards of Excellence winners
GREENVILLE — Mississippi’s public schools work in numerous
ways to communicate with their students, parents, staff, and communities and some
of those efforts were recently recognized.
During the Mississippi School Public Relations Association’s
annual awards dinner on March 8 at Harlow’s Casino in Greenville, Miss., school
districts and school public relations professionals from across the state were
honored for their publications, marketing efforts and online communications. The
recognitions are part of MPSRA’s annual Awards of Excellence program.
“This year’s program was very informative and, on behalf
MSPRA, I would like to congratulate all of the winners and every person who
submitted an entry into this year’s contest, said Everett Chinn, MSPRA
President and Greenville Public School District’s Public Relations Specialist. “We
look forward to continuing growing our program for years to come.”
The highest honor given was the Gold Medallion Award, which
recognizes outstanding Public Relations campaigns. The recipient of this year’s
Gold Medallion is Debbie Anglin, Pascagoula-Gautier School District. Anglin
also won first place for Excellence in Photography.
The awards ceremony was a portion of the MSPRA three-day
Nuts & Bolts Social Media conference which included keynote speaker Dawn
Dugle of Dugle Media. Miss Mississippi Laura Lee Lewis was a featured guest
speaker and helped present awards during the ceremony. Mississippi House
Representative Jay Hughes also provided Legislative updates. The conference included
various speakers from the education, public and legislative sectors who shared
important information for public relations professionals.
