Blair Campbell Wins Recently, Jackson Elementary School Art Teacher Allen Bell learned there would be an art competition co-sponsored by the Peanut Institute, the National Peanut Board, and the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site Education Program. As a result, Mr. Bell asked Jackson Elementary School children in grades K-5 to design a postcard that would feature peanuts with the theme "Plains, Peanuts and a President." Blair Campbell, daughter of Melton and Kristy Campbell has been privileged to be one of his students, and evidently she learned well. Mr. Bell submitted designs for the contest on each grade level. He was notified that Blair placed first in the Third Grade Division of the statewide contest. On Saturday, September 22, Blair, accompanied by Mom, Kristi and family, as well as Mr. Bell made the trip to Plains, Georgia, where Blair received her certificate as well as an autographed book from Mr. Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States. She also had her picture taken with him. |

Blair and Bell were also honored as they participated in the Peanut Festival Parade. Blair's winning postcard design was prominently displayed at the festival and at the Plains High School Museum. Mr. Bell is quoted as stating; "It was a good experience. I was pleased with Blair's use of radial balance in her design. We had just learned the concept the week before, and she applied it to the project." As you can see in Blair's card design below, she applied those lessons well in her design. The Inspirations tip our hats to this inspirational teacher. While Mr. Bell began teaching at Jackson Elementary School this year, we are confident he will continue to be a great asset to the filed of art education. Blair's winning entry > |

"Melton is one of the finest
young men we’ve ever known and he is a superb addition to the Inspirations,"
group manager Martin Cook stated. "Melton has an excellent feel for harmony, and his
voice blends extremely well. It matches the sound the Inspirations have always been known
for. We're very pleased to have him in our lineup."
