Ava Watts – Winner, Best PSA

Ava Watts is 12 years old and in sixth grade at Grapevine Faith Christian School in Grapevine, Texas.  Making the PSA for the “We The Future” contest came naturally because she loves performing in front of a camera as well as on stage as a competitive dancer.  Ava has been dancing since the age of two and started competing at the age of six.  It is her passion and joy and one day she hopes to make it a career. Along with dance, Ava enjoys playing a variety of sports.  She was a member of Grapevine Faith’s Junior High basketball team this year, is on the Speech and Debate team, and will be a Junior High cheerleader in the fall.
