Every year, PPSJ, in partnership with the Outstanding Educator Awards Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson, recognizes JPS educators who exemplify extraordinary skills and commitment to engaging all students in high quality learning, using innovative teaching and learning strategies, and engaging parents as partners in educating children. Each Outstanding Educator receives a monetary award from the Outstanding Educator Awards Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson to be used in any way the individual likes.  Four Outstanding educators will be honored at the September 7, 2011 PPSJ Lunch Bunch. PPS of Jackson and CFGJ will honor Mary Cook, 4^th grade at McLeod Elementary; La’Keshia Opara-Nadi, 1^st grade at Pecan Park Elementary; Diane Setzer, Kindergarten at Davis Magnet Elementary; & Barbara Stevens, 12^th grade English at Watkins Elementary.
