AI Summary
This resolution congratulates Bonnie Pollock, a sixth-grade teacher at Old High Middle School in Bentonville, Arkansas, for receiving the prestigious Milken Educator Award, often referred to as the "Oscars of Teaching". The award, which comes with a $25,000 prize, was presented to her on March 5, 2025, through a surprise ceremony after she was confidentially recommended by a blue-ribbon panel. Pollock, who has been an educator for twelve years, is known for her transformative classroom approach, fostering collaboration, and driving student growth, notably having five of nine finalists in the state's Civics Bee from her class. As part of the award, she will be paired with veteran Milken Educators through the Milken Friends Forever mentorship program and invited to attend the annual Milken Educator Awards Forum in Los Angeles in April 2025. The resolution not only celebrates her achievement but also highlights her commitment to innovative teaching and her significant contributions to education in Arkansas, as recognized by state education officials who praised her as representing some of the greatest teaching talent in the nation.
