🚀 Our incredible volunteers gave over 10,000 hours of their time to students last school year, and they’re ready to level up for 2025-2026!

📚 Today, ladies from the UAPB Alumni Association kicked off a monthly Book Club with our third graders at College Station and Harris Elementaries. Kids also had a friend scavenger hunt where they had to get signatures from the other school's scholars.

🔒 Safety first: Anyone who wishes to volunteer at a PCSSD school must first complete a volunteer application. This includes a background check conducted online at no cost to the volunteer.

🌟 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." 💚🧡
