🌟 Celebrating Leadership at Daisy Bates Elementary! 🌟The Legacy Leaders of Daisy Bates Elementary shone at the Martin Luther King Jr. Commissioners Conference at Shorter College — bringing home the Excellence in Student Leadership and Service Award! 🏆✨

🐅Principal Masako Christian shared, “At Pulaski County Special School District, we do our best every day to elevate the excellence of our scholars and our staff.”🐯

Fifth‑graders Ellen and Isabella inspired the crowd with a tribute to their school’s namesake: “We are honored to represent an amazing school named after an amazing lady, Daisy Gatson Bates… a trailblazer, a civil rights activist, a journalist, and publisher. More importantly, she is known for her role in education as a mentor." 💚🧡
