👕 AVID Wednesday! 👕

Don’t forget to show your AVID pride by rocking your college and career shirts tomorrow! At Daisy Bates Elementary, Tigers took AVID to the next level with their annual Rock Your School Week. 🐯

Teachers flipped their classrooms into real-world career spaces — from doctors’ offices 🩺 to other exciting professions — giving scholars a chance to explore college and career pathways in hands-on, creative ways. 🎓

This event and AVID are all about helping our scholars DREAM BIG, set goals, and see their future selves in action. A huge shoutout to our teachers for making learning an adventure every single day! 📚

🎉 Happy National Food Service Employees Day! 🍎🥪

Today, we proudly celebrate the incredible Student Nutrition Department here at Pulaski County Special School District. Every day, our dedicated cafeteria workers do so much more than prepare meals—they nourish minds, fuel learning, and create a welcoming environment for our students.

From the early mornings spent preparing breakfast to the busy lunch hours serving hundreds of meals, their hard work ensures that every child has access to nutritious food that supports both health and academic success. Their smiles, kindness, and commitment make a lasting difference in all 25 of our schools and in the lives of our students.

💛 On this day, we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU. If you see a member of our Student Nutrition Department today, take a moment to share your gratitude—they deserve it!
