Some JPS students got the chance to experience college life Friday.

About twenty fifth grade students from Brown Elementary walked the campus of Millsaps College to get a small taste of college life.  It was also a chance to encourage students' interest in the arts.

Millsaps students served as tour guides for the fifth graders.  Younger students got the chance to see science labs and college classrooms.  Their focus was to visit the school's art gallery.  Brown Elementary participates in a program that encourages the arts in all subjects.  Student Kennedi Guidry says she can't imagine life without the arts.

"You can express yourself, like what's on your mind, what you're thinking about," says Guidry.

This is the first year Brown Elementary has participated in the arts program, which is sponsored by the group Parents for Public Schools.

You can learn more about the program by visiting the Jackson chapter of Parents for Public Schools
website.
