And the 2018 Gold Daisy School Appreciation Contest Winner Is...

By East Tucson Macaroni Kid May 4, 2018

The last weeks have been challenging in Arizona education, which is all the more reason to show our teachers and our schools how much we appreciate them! You all agreed, and you cast over 1500 votes in our Gold Daisy School Appreciation Contest to let your schools know how much they mean to you. All of our Top 10 nominated schools are worthy of appreciation (heck, ALL of our schools and teachers are worthy of appreciation!), but one school community really rallied and captured 30% of the total votes for the win! Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, the winning school staff will receive a catered meal from Mama's Famous Pizza and Heros and the school will receive $200 from Heather Tyler, Nova Home Loans. 

Without further ado, the 2018 Gold Daisy School Appreciation Award Winner is...

 Congratulations to Academy of Tucson Elementary School!
